Gender responsive budgeting in action
Gender responsive budgeting isn’t about funding services just for women. It’s about understanding how government decisions can affect women differently.
Female-dominated industries such as healthcare, hospitality, retail and the arts mean women are more likely to work in the evening or have irregular start and finish hours.
In this Budget we are investing in more train and bus services, making sure women can use public transport to get to and from work – no matter what time their shift starts.
We are also upgrading our tram stops, making them more accessible for Victorians with disabilities and parents with prams.
