Aged Care is back in the spotlight, here is what the NFAW Social Policy Committee concludes about recent Budget initiatives and the urgent need for structural change https://t.co/DS8ZWxm9JI

[NF4 Australian Women @NFAWomen]

While the Budget includes a commitment to $348.0 million over four years it is not clear that this is informed by strategic thinking about how the future of work might affect our urban and social infrastructure needs.

#nfawgenderlens - working from home
The Budget’s significant funding for hard infrastructure and to support women’s economic engagement and safety fails to provide leadership on, or direction for, the transition into a post COVID working life

#nfawgenderlens view on Climate Change policy in the Federal Budget.
A missed opportunity to accelerate action on climate change, aligned with the actions announced recently by the USA and other major trading partners, and to prioritise a ‘green’ recovery from the pandemic.

We'll be releasing commentary from our #nfawgenderlens over the coming weeks. Here's what the NFAW Social Policy Committee thinks about the Federal Government's Women's Budget Statement.

Published today #nfawgenderlens
The NFAW Gender Lens is produced after the
Budget is brought down to allow readers to critically assess fiscal policies and their impact
on women, and is compiled from analysis by approximately 40 subject matter specialists.

[NF4 Australian Women @NFAWomen]

NFAW's Social Policy Committee have completed their analysis. Our Gender Lens on the Budget launches 12.01 am tomorrow. We break down the Federal Budget across key categories including different groups of women, health, social services, aged care... and more

Budget day tomorrow! We are getting ready for #NFAWGenderLens.

Disabled women are disproportionately impacted by domestic and family violence. We urgently need funding to make sure that women with disability can access domestic and family violence services, including refuges.
