Launched in 2015, DFAT’s Women in Leadership Strategy tackles barriers to women’s career progression in the department, and seeks to enable all staff to reach their full potential. The Strategy applies to all staff, both Australian and locally engaged at our many overseas posts, and aims to ensure that all staff feel included, valued and inspired to do their best.

I spoke with three of DFAT’s inspiring women leaders at our JakartaDili, and Hanoi posts about how they exercise their leadership in the workplace, and what advice they have for Australian colleagues seeking to make the Women in Leadership agenda a reality for locally engaged staff.

Patricia Bachtiar is a Senior Program Manager at Australia’s Embassy in Jakarta, Indonesia, working on gender equality issues in partnership with the Indonesian Government.
