NCOSS Women's Budget Statement 2017
As part of our 2017-18 Budget Analysis, we recommended that the NSW Government, as part of its commitment to developing a NSW Women’s Strategy, introduce a Women’s Budget for NSW, enabling it to assess the implications of the budget, for men and women, in all their diversity.
Ultimately, if we are to successfully break down barriers, move to achieving gender equality, and ensure that government policies and programs are effective, efficient and fair, we need gender responsive budgeting and data against which we can assess our progress – or lack of.
