Boards and committees

The Office for Women works towards ensuring that more women are able to make a contribution as leaders and key decision makers in the South Australian community. One way to achieve this is to increase the number of women members of boards and committees.

Premier's Women's Directory

The Premier’s Women’s Directory has merged into BoardingCall to create a single platform for connecting aspiring women to board positions. Premier’s Women’s Directory closed in July 2020.

BoardingCall (launched 2019) is the State Government’s primary online database for making appointments to its boards and committees. It is managed by the Department of the Premier and Cabinet.

BoardingCall enables people interested in being on a South Australian Government board or committee to:

• register an account
• create a personalised profile, and
• upload a CV.
