The First Nations Women’s Economic Participation Review (TRP23-05) (PDF 7.52MB) provides a baseline view of how First Nations women engage in the NSW economy. It was developed in consultation with First Nations women and girls. The review is guided by Expert Advisory Panel (EAP) of five leading First Nations women.
The review outlines five key policy priority areas for action.
- Homes and communities – improving housing security and wellbeing.
- Education – increasing access to culturally safe learning pathways.
- Workplace support – creating inclusive and flexible work environments.
- Entrepreneurship – supporting First Nations women to start and grow businesses.
- Decision-making – ensuring First Nations women are central to policy development.
Empowering First Nations women economically benefits families, communities and future generations. The review supports government and stakeholders to design programs that reflect First Nations values and promote financial freedom, cultural connection and long-term wellbeing.
