Today on International Women’s Day, we recognise the women who strengthen our communities - many working in roles that remain undervalued and underpaid.

In Australia, 80% of community workers are women (Jobs and Skills Australia). These professionals provide essential support across our communities, while average wages in community services sit below the national full-time average (Australian Bureau of Statistics).

Nationally, women earn on average 87.9 cents for every dollar earned by men. This context is particularly significant in female-dominated professions such as community work.

To truly , we must ensure that community work is properly recognised, fairly remunerated, and valued for the skill and leadership it requires.

This International Women’s Day, we acknowledge the contribution of women across our sector - from frontline practitioners to organisational leaders - and recommit to advancing equity in community work.

The Australian Journal of Community Work – Volume 4 (2024–2025) is now published and available on our website.

This latest edition brings together peer-reviewed research, practice reflections, and sector insight that reflect the depth, diversity and integrity of community work across Australia.

The AJCW plays an important role in strengthening the evidence base for practice and advancing recognition of community work professionals as skilled, ethical contributors to a fair and socially just society.

We thank the authors, reviewers, and editor whose work has made this publication possible.
