SAGE accreditation and awards
By becoming a SAGE subscriber, your organisation will join a national network of institutions and individuals committed to eliminating systemic and cultural barriers to gender equity, diversity and inclusion.
Science in Australia Gender Equity (SAGE) is the only transformational gender equity, diversity and inclusion program of its kind in Australia.
What leaders in higher education and research say about us
Professor Cobie Rudd, Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Regional Futures) & Vice-President at Edith Cowan University
"Working with SAGE has given us the tools we need to sustain a workplace that truly progresses gender diversity. The SAGE Framework ensures we always stay alert, constantly questioning how we can do things better where it matters most."
Professor Brendan Crabb, AC Director and CEO, Burnet Institute
“While the SAGE framework is a solid tool, its true impact depends on knowledgeable implementation, and we have greatly benefited from the engaged and dynamic Communities of Practice in Victoria. Burnet has found that the frameworks, processes and submissions have really helped us move the dial on our gender equity work."
Professor Sharon Pickering, Vice-Chancellor and President, Monash University
“Gaining the Athena Swan Silver Award is a tremendous milestone. Partnering with SAGE as Australasia’s leading advocate for EDI in the education and research sectors has been a great catalyst for change.”Who we work with

For Medical Research Institutes (MRIs) and TAFEs, we are currently developing a new awards pathway that reflects the challenges and needs of these unique sectors.
Currently, we support 38 subscriber institutions, including 28 universities, 4 publicly funded research institutions, and 6 MRIs.
