Queensland

The Queensland Government’s Activate! Queensland 2019-2029 Sport and Recreation Strategy includes a target for 100% of funded organisations to achieve gender equity, through female representation on state-level organisation boards of 50% or more.

Organisations funded under the Department of Tourism and Sport’s (DTS) Active Industry Base Fund (AIBF) must implement a plan to achieve gender equity on its board by 2029. Funded organisations must also provide DTIS with updates on the progress of implementation in line with the AIBF reporting requirements.

Timelines

Queensland retains its current timeframe of July 2029 in line with the Queensland Government’s Activate! Queensland 2019-2029 Sport and Recreation Strategy.

Non-Compliance Measures

In 2029, DTS will evaluate any non-compliance of funded state level organisations with consideration given to if the organisation has made every reasonable effort to achieve the gender equity targets.

Organisations that do not meet the specified gender equity targets and timelines will be subject to accountability measures that will be determined by DTS. This may include financial and/or other measures.
