The Australian Census of Women in Leadership measures the status of women on boards and women executive managers in Australia’s top 200 organisations listed on the Australian Stock Exchange. Applying the business principle of what gets measured, gets done, the Census is designed to establish accurate statistics to enable international benchmarking.

The 2006 census found that of the top 200 Australian listed companies, only 4 had a woman chair, 6 had a woman CEO, 61 had only one woman executive manager and only 60 had 2 or more women executive managers. Further, only 12% of all executive managers in the top 200 companies are women.
