Minister Launches Women's Register

Posted on Monday, 5 December 2005 | Permalink

Minister for Women Tasmania Paula Wriedt today launched a new online register developed by Ionata for women interested in appointment to Government boards and committees.

Ms Wriedt said that the State Government had established the Tasmanian Women’s Register to provide a database of women with an interest in board membership.

Women can join online at www.women.tas.gov.au/register and provide details of their qualifications and experience, current and previous board/committee appointments and special competencies. Profiles can be updated at any time.

“This register is an evolving resource that will continually be expanded and I encourage women to log on and take up the invitation to add their names,” Ms Wriedt said.

“The move to an online register, rather than the previous paper-based system will also make it easier for women to add their names to the register.  The old system dates back to 1993”.
