Julie Bernhardt

Gender equity advocacy
In 2013 Bernhardt founded the Women in Science Parkville Precinct (WiSPP) Collective Impact initiative to address the gender inequity that she had witnessed in medical research. This initiative aims to improve the systems that limit the advancement of women and diversity of leadership across five of Melbourne's medical research institutes. Bernhardt was invited to talk at the 2016 World Economic Forum in Tianjin, China about gender equity and is also an author on a paper about gender equity in Stroke Society of Australasia.
