SA Launches New Gender Framework to Transform Labour Market and Skills Policy

JSA Releases Inaugural Gender Framework to Drive Inclusive Workforce Policy

Jobs and Skills Australia (JSA) has released the first iteration of its Gender Framework, marking a major step forward in promoting inclusive and evidence-based workforce policy.

Designed to guide policymakers, analysts, and stakeholders, the framework supports the integration of gender and intersectional perspectives into labour market data and decision-making. Developed in collaboration with tripartite stakeholders, the framework is a living document, open to ongoing feedback as the Gender Economic Equality Study continues.

By applying gendered and intersectional lenses to Australia’s labour market and skills systems, JSA aims to accelerate progress toward gender economic equality and ensure more effective, data-driven policy outcomes.

The Gender Framework aligns with broader government strategies such as Closing the Gap and Working for Women: A Strategy for Gender Equality, aiming to strengthen the availability and use of intersectional data. These efforts help shape the policy tools needed to address persistent inequalities across education, training, and the workforce. With this work, JSA positions itself as a policy innovation leader across government.

The framework is built on five guiding principles:

  1. Interrogate and Reform Data – Harness intersectional data to generate deeper insights.
  2. Embed Intersectionality – Recognise and address diverse experiences and disadvantages in work and learning.
  3. Collaborate and Co-Design – Partner with experts and communities to develop inclusive, effective solutions.
  4. Develop Insight and Indicators – Tackle structural barriers to create long-term, measurable change.
  5. Innovate and Lead by Example – Enhance JSA’s internal capabilities and drive system-wide data reform.

As a central player in national skills planning, JSA’s work on gender equity and inclusive analysis is critical to unlocking Australia’s full skills potential. The framework will continue to evolve in alignment with broader economic and policy developments.
