The Hon Margaret Beazley AC KC Expert Determination Scholarship
Introducing Resolution Institute’s female only expert determination scholarship.
There is a significant gender disparity in determinative dispute resolution in Australia and Aotearoa New Zealand. Women are substantially underrepresented in the Resolution Institute membership and the broader determinative community generally.
Resolution Institute is committed to meaningful change in this space and to close the gap. In line with our Diversity, Equity and Inclusion plan and our commitment to increasing representation of women in determinative and commercial dispute resolution practice we are pleased to announce our first female only scholarship.
Now in its second year, the scholarship is open to all Resolution Institute female members, for those wishing to either develop an alternative career path or to be included on the Resolution Institute Register of Practising Expert Determiners. Only citizens of Australia or permanent residents may apply.
The scholarship will be offered at each of our Expert Determiner's Course.
