Founded in 1985, Chief Executive Women (CEW) now represents over 650 of Australia’s most senior and distinguished women leaders across business, academia, government, the arts and not-for-profit sectors. Our shared mission is ‘women leaders enabling other women leaders’.

We strive to educate and influence all levels of Australian business and government on the importance of gender balance. Through advocacy, targeted programs and scholarships, CEW works to remove the barriers to women’s progression and ensure equal opportunity for prosperity. CEW’s members work actively to realise our vision of a community where women and men have equal economic and social choices and responsibilities.
