SUMMARY:Gender Responsive Budgeting: In conversation with Emeritus Professor Siobhan Austen and Micaela Drieberg
DESCRIPTION:Coming into the 2024-25 WA Budget\, it was critical the WA government invest in women and invest in a community where women can thrive. While we saw investment in some areas\, such as family and domestic violence\, overall\, there was a lack of commitment to systematically addressing barriers to women’s economic and social participation. \nIf we are to create a more equal WA\, it is clear we need to update our approach to public spending. \nGender responsive budgeting (GRB) is strategy that creates budgets that work for everyone. GRB includes analysis of the impact of the budget on gender equality and considers the process of changing budgetary decision-making priorities. By addressing the economic and fiscal impacts of government budgets on women and gender diverse people\, GRB ensures that the WA economy is serving and benefiting all community members. \nThis one-hour webinar will introduce gender responsive budgeting and discuss the important role of public spending in achieving gender equity. \nGuest Speakers\nEmeritus Professor Siobhan Austen\nSiobhan is director of the Women in Social and Economic Research (WiSER) and Professor Emerita of economics at Curtin University. Her research expertise is in the gendered analysis of social and economic policy issues\, with a specific focus on retirement incomes\, work and pay. She has written and published widely on these topics. Siobhan’s community roles are extensive. She is on the editorial boards of the Journal of Economic Issues\, Feminist Economics\, and the Economics and Labour Relations Review and is a member of the Work and Family Roundtable. \nMicaela Drieberg\nMicaela is the Chief Executive Officer of Gender Equity Victoria (GEN VIC)\, an independent state-wide peak body for organisations and individuals working to advance gender equality in Victoria. Micaela is a committed feminist and a strategic\, collaborative leader with over 20 years of experience across for-purpose sectors\, including all three levels of government\, universities\, not-for-profit organisations and peak bodies. Micaela has previously served as a Mayor and Ministerial Adviser and most recently\, was the Head of Government Relations and Partnerships for a national community organisation. In addition to her work with GEN VIC\, she is also a Director with South Eastern Melbourne Primary Health Network and Teaching Associate with Monash University. \n  \nMicaela and Siobhan will provide an overview of the need for\, and benefits of\, gender responsive budgeting and outline progress towards gender responsive budgeting in other Australia jurisdictions – with a particular focus on work underway in Victoria. Workshop attendees will have the opportunity to ask questions and join the discussion. \nThis webinar will be hosted by Jessica Murray\, Manager for Women’s Health and Gender Equity at the Centre for Women’s Safety and Wellbeing. \nThis event is a partnership between WACOSS and the Centre for Women’s Safety and Wellbeing.

SUMMARY:Child Safe Recruitment and Staff Support Webinar
DESCRIPTION:Every organisation has a responsibility to keep children and young people safe. \nThis webinar will focus on National Principle 5 covering practical elements on recruitment\, the role of screening\, employee inductions and ongoing staff support\, and include a range of guest speakers. \nChild safe organisations create cultures where the safety and wellbeing of children and young people is prioritised and actions are taken to identify risks and protect them from harm\, including from sexual abuse. \nThe National Principles for Child Safe Organisations (National Principles) provide a framework to guide organisations in developing child safe cultures and practices\, including the ability to identify risks and take agreed actions to prevent\, respond to and report child abuse. \nThe WA Government is committed to supporting the development of safe organisations for children and young people and is working to develop an independent oversight system that includes monitoring and enforcement of the National Principles. \nJoin us to learn more about “National Principle 5: People working with children and young people are suitable and supported to reflect child safety and wellbeing values in practice”\, and how your organisation can implement key practices.

SUMMARY:Feeling the Heat: Stories and Strategies for Western Australia's Rising Temperatures
DESCRIPTION:With record-breaking global temperatures on the rise\, we’re feeling the heat now more than ever. What does this mean for our health? Who is the most vulnerable? And what can be done to help us prepare for\, and mitigate\, high heat? \nJoin the Conservation Council of WA’s Go Beyond Gas movement and the Western Australian Council of Social Service for a discussion of the health and social impacts of climate-fueled high heat and heat waves. We will delve into key concerns around high heat and heat waves and strategic methods of adaptation and mitigation. \nThis will include personal stories from those with lived experience of high heat as well as policy recommendations and initiatives for local government. Of course\, we can’t talk about the heat we’re feeling without addressing what’s fuelling it. We’ll be providing resources and next steps to address the climate crisis too. \nOur panel will feature representative speakers from Doctors for the Environment Australia and the Bureau of Meteorology\, alongside a lived experience advocate. \nThe panel will be followed by a Q&A\, where you’ll have the opportunity to ask questions about preparing for – and turning down – the heat. \nIn the face of significant challenges\, this will be a hopeful dialogue centered on solutions. Come and join us for this conversation.
