The Dornwell Framework
In 2015, the University launched the Dornwell Framework, the University’s first gender equity strategy for staff.
The Dornwell Framework 2020-2022 is organised around three areas of focus as follows:
- strengthening leadership capability and accountability
- building an empowered workforce
- growing and strengthening the talent pipeline.
The Dornwell Action Plan 2019-2022 has been developed to assist with meeting the requirements of the Dornwell Framework.
About Edith Dornwell
Edith Dornwell, in 1885, became the University of Adelaide's first female graduate - and one of the first in the world - and the University's first science graduate.
A truly remarkable pioneer, Edith Dornwell was not only ahead of her male peers in achieving this milestone, but she gained her degree with high honours, the culmination of a distinguished academic record.
