Women in space
Our commitment to diversity and inclusion in the Australian space sector.
About Us
Welcome to the Women in Space Chapter of the National Space Society of Australia. Our chapter is dedicated to promoting equity, diversity, and inclusion in the space sector in Australia through awareness, advocacy, and mentorship.
Our mission is to raise awareness of the amazing achievements of underrepresented groups within the space sector, and to highlight the unique challenges which these groups encounter within their fields. We work to advocate for equity and inclusion in the space sector, and to minimize the barriers that can prevent women and minority groups from entering or persisting within their field. Additionally, we strive to provide and facilitate mentorship opportunities for students who have a passion for space.
