More women at the helm: Top ASX companies inching closer to 40%

The Australian Institute of Company Directors (AICD) is proud to unveil the latest Gender Diversity Snapshot, offering a fresh and in-depth look at the representation of women on ASX-listed boards.

This quarters analysis shows continued progress - and key milestones reached - on the path to improved gender representation across ASX-listed company boards.

As at 30 June 2025:

• 45 women serve as Chairs across ASX 300 boards - up from 42 in 2024.
• 25 women hold Chair roles on ASX 200 boards

Representation on the Rise

• ASX 20: 42.0% female directorships
• ASX 50: 41.0% female directorships
• ASX 100: 39.3% female directorships
• ASX 200: 38.1% female directorships
• ASX 300: 37.5% female directorships

These figures reflect consistent year-on-year improvement, with women now holding more than a third of directorships across the ASX 300.

Why This Matters

Female representation on boards are not just a marker of equity - they are a driver of performance, innovation and good governance. The AICD remains committed to improving transparency, publishing data, and working with leaders to ensure momentum continues.
