Membership Criteria

At CEW, one of our aims is to unite Australia’s most accomplished women, regardless of their location, employment type (executive or non-executive), or the sector they lead (not-for-profit, public, or private). Membership is open to those meeting our stringent criteria, ensuring a diverse and inclusive community.

We maintain high standards while embracing diversity within our membership base. Lifetime membership is granted to qualifying individuals who consistently adhere to our code of conduct and annual fee requirements.

Nomination for membership is facilitated by existing CEW members. If you believe you meet our criteria, we encourage you to connect with CEW members you know for a discussion and nomination. All members are searchable here.

Our Membership Committee has outlined examples of nominations that align with our criteria, emphasising factors such as role, reporting structure, organisation size, and team management. Explore the criteria examples here.
