Gender Equality Action Plan and Gender Equality Statement of Commitment

The first annual progress report of the Gender Equality Action Plan has been released. For more information see Northern Territory Gender Equality Action Plan 2022-2025: First Progress Report 2022-2023.

In March 2024, the Office of Gender Equity and Diversity entered into a 3 year partnership with the Northern Institute at Charles Darwin University to devise and populate a set of data indicators measuring gender equality in the Northern Territory and to produce an occasional paper series. The occasional paper series will focus on gender inequalities experienced by Territorians, in particular Aboriginal women and girls. The data indicators are due for release by the end of 2024. These will be included in the second annual progress report as a baseline for measuring progress over time.

The Office of Gender Equity and Diversity Grants and Sponsorship Program supports projects that progress the actions of the Gender Equality Action Plan. The program has supported 60 community activities in 2023‑24 up to 31 March 2024.

The Northern Territory Men's Places Grants program provides funding support to programs and activities aimed at enhancing the wellbeing of Territory men. Recipients of the 2024 grant round were announced in June 2024. The Office of Gender Equity and Diversity manages the service contract of the Northern Territory Working Women's Centre, providing $194,000 annually for the organisation to provide free advice to women about work-related matters, including support for employees experiencing workplace bullying, sexual harassment and domestic and family violence.
