Sustaining progress on ASX boards
The Gender Diversity Snapshot provides a timely overview of the representation of women on ASX‑listed company boards, tracking progress across the ASX 100, 200 and 300 and highlighting emerging trends shaping board composition in Australia.
Drawing on the latest available data, this edition examines where momentum is continuing, where it is slowing, and what this means for boards, chairs and nomination committees as they consider succession planning and future appointments.
While long‑term progress has been steady, the Snapshot reinforces that sustained attention is required to ensure gains are maintained and translated into leadership roles, not just board seats.
Chairs Mentoring Program
This transformative mentoring program equips established women directors for ASX roles and empowers culturally diverse women to take the next step in their directorship career.
The Chair’s Mentoring Program is the AICD’s flagship board diversity initiative, which pairs qualified, experienced women directors with leading ASX 200 company Chairs and non-executive directors for one-on-one mentoring and professional development.
Why is Board Diversity Crucial to an Organisation’s Success?
Board diversity is the mix of skills, experiences, backgrounds and characteristics present at the board table. Diversity in its broadest sense includes gender, age, ethnicity, cultural background, disability, sexuality, education, and professional experience. In the world of governance, board diversity is not simple a “tick-in-a box” corporate exercise, but a key element that contributes to the fabric of any successful organisation.
