2007
Overview
The history of this machinery has been well documented by Marian Sawer and others.2 In 1973, Elizabeth Reid, the first Australian Women's Adviser (to the Prime Minister) was appointed.3 Simultaneously, a 'hub and spokes' model was developed to promote women's policy, with the 'hub' being the forerunner of what later became the Office of the Status of Women (OSW), located in Office of the Department of the Prime Minister, and the 'spokes' of the wheel in line departments.4 The OSW did not act on its own, but rather used a range of mechanisms that promoted use of its location and its access to influence, with other activities such as reaching out to traditional women's organisations in the community via the National Women's Advisory Council and its successor, the National Women's Consultative Council (NWCC).
