Mitchell, VIC tests gender impact assessment app for policy and program development

Mitchell, VIC Gender Impact Assessment App Policy Program

Mitchell's GIA app follows a four-step model - assumptions, context, options, and recommendations - for impact assessment. Council employees use the mobile app when assessing the consequences of their work on men, women, and gender-diverse residents. GIA reports are sent to the Gender Equality Action Group for review. Mitchell is working with Women’s Health Goulburn North East on staff training about effective assessments during the pilot's early days.
