Australia s bosses are notoriously white.
A 2018 report by the Australian Human Rights Commission found that approximately 95 per cent of senior leaders in business, politics, government and higher education came from European backgrounds. People with an Asian background represented just 3.1 per cent, despite representing up to 16 per cent of the Australian population (according to the 2016 census).
They re also typically male.
While the private sector workforce is 50.5 per cent women, they remain underrepresented as board chairs (just 14.6 per cent), CEOs (18.3 per cent), directors (28.1 per cent) and in senior management positions (32.5 per cent).
In surgery, this gender gap is particularly stark. While women represent roughly half of medical graduates, they only make up roughly 12 per cent of Australia s surgeons.

Our low numbers of COVID-19 are due only to our island nationâs ability to isolate, which comes with the economic and social cost of locked borders (âAustralia needs to set out its COVID-19 endgameâ, April 17-18). This must end at some stage but only when our healthcare system can handle the influx of COVID-19 cases, including unknown new variants, with the best vaccination program available at that time. As we can already see, this will vary with updated scientific data and improved vaccines, and should be managed by medical regulatory bodies based on that information, not by politics and emotive overreaction. There is no zero-risk option with this disease or with its management, but letâs go with the best scientific evidence to protect our society.
