Good news! Each year, the number of women practising law in Australia continues to rise. According to The National Profile of Solicitors 2016 Report, gender distribution was almost at 50/50 for men and women while just five years previous women accounted for 46%.
The statistics for ACC Australia members shows a greater percentage split, with almost 65% of our member base being women.
