Gender Equality Matters
Australia's MedTech industry thrives on innovation, expertise and the contribution of talented people from a wide range of backgrounds and experiences.
Gender equality is an important part of building a strong and sustainable industry. When women are represented across all areas of the workforce and have equitable opportunities to participate, progress and contribute, the entire industry benefits.
At MTAA, we believe a diverse workforce strengthens organisations, facilitates innovation and helps ensure the MedTech industry attracts and retains the talent needed to meet future challenges and opportunities.
Understanding the Data
Women make significant contributions across every part of the MedTech industry, including research and development, manufacturing, regulatory affairs, clinical, commercial and executive roles. Yet we know women can experience different opportunities and barriers across their careers.
While progress has been made, an opportunity exists to better understand women's experiences, career pathways and representation across the industry.
This knowledge is important to creating workplaces where all people can have the same opportunity to contribute and succeed based on their skills, experience and aspirations. Together we can help create a more inclusive, innovative and prosperous MedTech industry.
MTAA WiMT White Paper
MTAA Women in MedTech Committee is commencing work on an industry-first White Paper examining women’s representation, participation and experiences within the Australian MedTech sector. This is building on our earlier reports.
To build this evidence base to inform the White Paper, the WiMT Committee is designing two complementary surveys for MTAA members and their employees.
The White Paper findings will be launched at the MTAA MedTech Conference in March 2027.
