WiMT Committee Responsibilities and Objectives

Championing Change: The WiMT Committee’s Mission to Advance Women in MedTech

The Women in MedTech (WiMT) Committee plays a pivotal role in driving gender equity and empowering women across Australia's MedTech industry. At its core, the committee is tasked with achieving the strategic mission set by the MTAA Board, ensuring tangible progress toward a more inclusive and representative sector.

A critical function of the committee is to track and analyse benchmark metrics on the current ratio of women in leadership positions, providing data-driven insights that highlight gaps and opportunities for improvement. Beyond measurement, the WiMT Committee leads industry-wide discussions to establish realistic and achievable targets for female leadership representation, fostering accountability and collective action.

To translate these goals into practice, the committee develops and shares actionable plans that companies can implement to expand their female talent pipelines and elevate women into leadership roles. These resources are complemented by high-profile campaigns and events, including annual awards, which amplify the visibility and contributions of women in MedTech—inspiring the next generation of leaders.

Additionally, the WiMT Committee creates practical tools and frameworks to help organisations address systemic barriers and embed diversity best practices into their operations. By combining data, advocacy, and actionable strategies, the committee serves as a catalyst for meaningful change, ensuring the MedTech industry not only recognises the value of women but actively empowers them to thrive at all levels.

This work is essential for building a stronger, more innovative, and equitable MedTech sector in Australia—one where diversity of thought and leadership drives sustained growth and success.
