In 2007 a national review overseen by the Australian Local Government Women's Association, titled The Way Forward, recognised that while some significant advances have been made in strengthening the role of women in Local Government, much more needs to be done to improve the participation of women.
Step This Way has been prepared as part of South Australia's overall response to The Way Forward - a Review of the National Framework for women in Local Government released by the Australian Local Government Association in June 2007. It describes the real activities of Councils in our State that are providing workforce opportunities, organisational commitment resulting in tangible outcomes for women employees.
