鈥淭he Academy is pleased to support this new group and welcomes the non-partisan commitment from political leaders to promote and help enable women to pursue and maintain careers in science, maths and engineering,鈥� Professor Cory said.

鈥淲e鈥檙e losing many of our nation鈥檚 best and brightest because we have failed to incorporate flexible and supportive career pathways for women scientists and mathematicians.
鈥淏y establishing such high-level advocacy for women in science, maths and engineering, parliamentarians are acknowledging that Australian cannot afford to keep losing women from the profession, or to under-utilising our investment in training them.鈥�
