The AMA's sixth gender report was released this week.
The AMA has this week released the 'AMA Diversity Report - Gender 2023', the sixth report developed by the AMA since it began reporting on gender diversity.
The AMA's reporting on gender diversity is in line with a commitment to achieve a target of 40 per cent women, 40 per cent men, 20 per cent flexible for all federal AMA councils and committees, with a gender diversity target of women holding 50 per cent of federal AMA representative positions overall.
Our latest report shows that in 2023, 44 per cent of representative positions were held by women and 55 per cent were held by men which marks a significant improvement from 2018 where 26 per cent of positions were held by women and shows the value in public reporting and an organisational commitment to achieve gender balance.
For the first time since reporting, the gender representation on the AMA's Federal Council met federal AMA gender targets, improving from 38 per cent of positions held by women in 2022 to 41 per cent in 2023.
The proportion of federal AMA councils and committees also meeting the gender target increased from 38 per cent in 2022 to 54 per cent in 2023.
