The first of its kind in Australia, this award-winning collaboration is an initiative of the Trawalla Foundation, WLIA and University of Melbourne, in partnership with eight of Australia’s leading universities.
Pathways is increasing the number of women in Australian politics by equipping diverse women to boldly embrace their political ambitions, thrive as leaders and make a profound contribution to society.
Through comprehensive practical training, workshops, mentoring and career-long support, we provide unparalleled expertise for women who are serious about driving change through political leadership.
Under the dedicated leadership of National Co-Convenors Sarah Buckley and Dr Meredith Martin (University of Melbourne), Pathways to Politics is changing the face of politics.

“Pathways to Politics doesn’t just bewail the undersupply of women in public office: it takes practical steps to address the problem, equipping women with the skills and confidence to get involved… It’s an invaluable down-payment on a better kind of politics.”
