Women In Business

Gender diversity in leadership has become a significant topic of discussion in Australia and across the world. The benefits of having more women in leadership roles extend beyond equality and fairness as studies have consistently shown us that diverse leadership teams drive innovation, enhance financial performance, and create more inclusive workplaces.

A major funding boost for the Advancing Women in Healthcare Leadership (AWHL) initiative will enhance gender equity, career progression and leadership development for women in healthcare.

International Women’s Day is an important day to recognise and celebrate the achievements of women around the world. Today we recognise Kelly Rogerson, the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) at Palliative Care Southeast; a born nurse who has devoted her career to end of life care. 

Yvonne Timson, has a leadership approach that focuses on flattening the business structure in order to empower her staff and allow for self-managed teams in a sector that traditionally didn’t have many opportunities. 

Statistics have shown the gender balance in Chief Executive Officers (CEOs) may take more than 100 years more to reach, but with aged care’s feminised workforce the industry has a chance to lead the way to equity.

Experts in the aged care sector have acknowledged the need to foster opportunities for women in leadership roles to establish a well-rounded and robust cohort of leaders in businesses and on organisation boards, but the buck doesn’t stop with women. 

Thirteen years after Tamar Krebs started working in the aged care industry, she introduced a care model that changed the face of dementia care in Australia forever. She’s been dedicated to this model, that puts people with dementia first, for the past 10 years. We put the spotlight on this powerful woman in business to tell her story. 

DPS Publishing and HelloCare Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Michelle Beech is not only a businesswoman, but a family woman.
