Join the Gender Equity Coalition - Individual Members

A gender equitable community is where all people are respected, safe to participate in all aspects of community life and have equitable access to resources they need to succeed in achieving their aspirations, while living in a community that is free from violence against women and gender-based violence. 

The GEC is made up of individuals, organisations, businesses, schools, community and groups who are committed to leading actions that promote gender equity across Greater Bendigo.


We demonstrate our commitment by:
  • Advocating for and leading change within our spheres of influence
  • Building knowledge and understanding across our community
  • Modelling the principles and approaches within our own areas of influence
  • Developing and implementing policies and programs
  • Encouraging others to join us in our efforts
  • Monitoring and evaluating our outcomes, and reporting progress
  • Celebrating our achievements
Gender Equity Coalition members can:
  • Receive the newsletter, which includes events, resources, and opportunities to build relevant skills and knowledge.
  • Advocate for gender equity in Greater Bendigo.
  • Advance and contribute towards achieving gender equity - through attending GEC activities, events or campaigns, or joining a GEC Group. 
  • Build connections with others passionate about achieving gender equity. 
Joining the GEC is required to receive our newsletter — but involvement can simply mean staying connected in this way or taking a more active role.
