What happened
A census of ASX-listed companies found that the share of women in leadership roles is declining. The share of ASX300 chief executive appointments going to women fell from one in four in 2025 to one in seven in 2026. Furthermore, the percentage of women in ASX200 executive leadership roles dropped from 32 to 31 per cent in 2026.

Why it matters
The report suggests that the current pace of decline may prevent ASX200 companies from achieving gender parity in CEO roles within the working lifetimes of current staff. The census also found that only 23.5 per cent of women in ASX300 executive roles were from outside Anglo-Celtic and North-West European backgrounds.
