We advocate for diverse workplace cultures that encourage participation and leadership.
In 2020 WiSPP received seed funding from the Victorian Government to enable us to start bringing together the Equity in Medical Research Alliance.

These reports are produced by a Working Group of volunteers from across the Victorian Medical Research Sector bought together to build the Equity in Medical Research Alliance.
