$5Million plan to address gender imbalance in Australia

Gender Matters is a suite of initiatives that address the gender imbalance within the Australian screen industry.

The imbalance is most notable in traditional film with 32% of women working as producers, 23% as writers and only 16% as directors.

“To make a real difference to women's participation in the industry, there needs to be a holistic, integrated approach to people, projects and business infrastructure that is sustainable and self-generating.  We need to support women to build a range and breadth of skills in this industry,” Screen Australia's CEO Graeme Mason said today.
