Abstract
Objectives
The principles of gender equity are important to achieve the Royal Australian and New Zealand College of Psychiatrists (the College) strategic goals. (1) To present the data on gender equity, (2) To describe how the action plan was developed, (3) To discuss how this work aligns with a commitment to inclusion and diversity.
Methods
Firstly, the formation of a working group with representation from across the College. Secondly, undertaking a data snapshot and discussion paper on gender equity to support consultation. Thirdly, reviewing similar action plans, a literature review, and undertaking broad consultation across the College. Finally, collating data using a thematic analysis to support the development of an action plan.
Results
Data obtained on gender equity identified clear gaps in leadership roles, academic activities and awards. Our review and consultation identified themes focused on gaps in gender equity including a role for organisational leadership approach. Together this has then informed an action plan for gender equity for the College.
Conclusions
There are no simple solutions that will solve gender inequity; this requires systemic solutions to achieve meaningful change. However, the development of the action plan is a significant step towards addressing the current gender inequities.
