Women's Reports Card 2009
The Women’s Report Card was first published in 2004 as a result of the unique 2002 Women’s Convention, which identified the need to measure the progress of women in Western Australia. To track change, the Report Card was then updated in 2006. The 2009 update continues to fulfil the Government’s ongoing commitment to regularly update and track these important indicators for women in our state. Click here for the report.

This Superwoman booklet will help women think about the retirement lifestyle they want; work out how much money will be required and assist in the development of an action plan.
