  • IWD 2023 - Department of Quality and Safety
    International Women's Day Spotlight - Department of Quality and Safety 28 March 2023 Our International Women's Day Spotlight 2023 continues in its final week, featuring the Department of Quality and Safety. In a world that is constantly changing, how have the roles and contributions of women in science or your profession or discipline evolved over the past few years? There are more women climbing the corporate ladder and moving from the front line into senior management and executive roles. Women have become more confident to step up and apply, and show that they are extremely capable of excelling in these types of roles. Has there been a shift in career paths women choose today compared to the past few decades? Definitely! A few decades ago, the main choices for careers for women were a secretary, nurse or schoolteacher – all of which would of course be given up once they had children so they could be a homemaker and care for the children. Women today have so m...

  • IWD 2023 - Angie Paskevicius
    International Women's Day Spotlight - Angie Paskevicius, PathWest Board Chair 16 March 2023 Today's International Women's Day Spotlight is our PathWestBoard Chair, Angie Paskevicius. In a world that is constantly changing, how have the roles and contributions of women in science or your profession or discipline evolved over the past few years? In the leadership space, changes have been slow to happen over the past few years with still only a small number of women moving into senior management and Board roles. According to research published by Bentleys in February 2022, women hold 17.6% of Chair positions and 31.2% of directorships and represent 19.4% of CEOs and 34.5% of key management roles. 22.3% of boards and governing bodies have no female directors. At PathWest, women currently represent 55.6% of female directors on our Board and we have a female chair. Has there been a shift in career paths women choose today compared to the past few decades? I think that women are muc...
  • IWD Clinical Biochem QEII
    International Women's Day Spotlight - Department of Clinical Biochemistry, Pharmacology and Toxicology, QEII 15 March 2023 Thank youto Dr Ee Mun Lim, Dr Melissa Tanner and Dr Rhonda Maguire for the combined response from theDepartment of Clinical Biochemistry, Pharmacology and Toxicology, QEII. There were no consultant female Chemical Pathologists working in Western Australia prior to 1995. We now represent ~47% of the Chemical Pathologist workforce in this state. Women have traditionally been attracted to the clinical aspects of Chemical Pathology, with many undertakings join physician training. More recently more of us are expanding our roles into management, with both current Heads of Department at PathWest being female. Four of our five P4 scientists are women. There are more women interested in taking up leadership roles as we believe in what we can achieve. Women are empowered to voice their opinions in the environment of “speak up culture”. We are very lucky in Chemical Pathology to ha...
