Indigenous Women and QWWS

Abstract

This report is prepared for Queensland Working Women’s Service (QWWS), a community organisation that provides work-related services to women in Queensland. At the current time, there is little, if any, research on Indigenous women’s workrelated needs in Queensland. Little has been written on Indigenous working women’s experiences of work in Queensland, and even less has been written on how Indigenous women access information on their rights at work, or how they perceive work-related service organisations like QWWS. Driving this report is a commitment by QWWS to better understand the needs of Indigenous clients and to better understand how to meet those needs. QWWS considers Indigenous working women to be a priority client, and is committed to ongoing improvements to its service provision to Indigenous (and other) women across Queensland.
