LEADING CHANGE. INSPIRING PROGRESS.
Welcome to the Women in Public Sector Leadership Summit 2025, where we continue the journey of empowering women to lead boldly and drive meaningful change in the Australian Public Service.
This year, we’re building on the momentum of progress, with women now holding over 40% of senior leadership roles in the APS. While this is a significant achievement, there’s still work to be done to
ensure leadership opportunities are accessible to all. This summit is dedicated to equipping you with the skills, insights, and connections to make a real difference in your career and community.
Inspiration with impact
Hear from trailblazing women in leadership who share their stories of success, resilience, and lessons learned along the way. Our practical workshops and expert-led sessions are designed to help you
navigate the unique challenges of public sector leadership, from mastering digital transformation to fostering inclusive and thriving workplaces.
Connect and colaborate
The 2025 summit is also your chance to network with like-minded peers, mentors, and leaders who are passionate about advancing women in the public sector. These connections will inspire, support, and
empower you on your leadership journey. Join us in Canberra for a powerful experience that combines inspiration, practical strategies, and a commitment to building a gender-equal future in the public sector. Together, let’s lead the way forward.

The National Women in Transport initiative aims to showcase, support, and increase the number of Australian women working in transport. One way in which this is done is through the Speaker Bureau, which demonstrates the contributions women make to transport across Australia. Speakers are senior leaders across a range of transport modes and specialties.
This is an initiative of Australia’s infrastructure and transport ministers who agreed to the Women in Transport Initiative at the Infrastructure and Transport Ministers’ Meeting (ITMM) in May 2021.
The initiative is supported by the Australian Government and Infrastructure Australia and coordinated by the National Transport Commission.
