Early life and education

Broderick grew up in Caringbah, New South Wales as the daughter of a doctor and physiotherapist, Frank and Margot. She has two sisters including an identical twin, emeritus Professor Jane Latimer AO,[1][2] and Carolyn Broderick.[3] Elizabeth Broderick was head girl in 1978 at Meriden School, Strathfield while Jane Latimer was head girl at MLC School in neighbouring Burwood in the same year.[3]

Career

Broderick is trained as a lawyer. She has spoken publicly about her own experiences of sexual harassment by a client as a young lawyer.[4]

At law firm Blake Dawson Waldron (now Ashurst), Broderick worked part-time for twelve years while she was a partner - the first partner at the firm to work part-time.[5] She also created a database giving people legal advice at low cost. Broderick was named "Telstra NSW Business Woman of the Year" (2000–2001).[3]

Sex Discrimination Commissioner

Broderick was appointed Sex Discrimination Commissioner by Prime Minister John Howard in 2007. Her term was extended by the Rudd government and again by the Abbott government.[2] As Sex Discrimination Commissioner, Broderick worked on equal-pay cases, "proposed a model for the paid parental leave scheme", and commented publicly on sexual harassment cases.[3]

Broderick persuaded some of "the most powerful men in the country" to publicly commit to being part of a group called Male Champions of Change (MCC) and take action on gender inequality.[4] The group is still active and has inspired the creation of many MCC groups in other sectors, including architecture,[6] property,[7] elite sports[8] and in Victoria.[9] Current members of the Founding MCC group include, Alan Joyce, Kevin McCann, Martin Parkinson, David Thodey and Lieutenant General David Morrison.[10]

The Male Champions of Change have released progress reports in 2011,[11] 2013[12] and 2014.[13] They also partnered with Chief Executive Women to develop a model for leaders to use in order to examine their own actions and "Leadership Shadow".[14]

In 2014, Broderick published a fourth and final report on gender-discriminatory practices in the Australian Defence Force.[15]

Broderick finished up as Sex Discrimination Commissioner in 2015 and was succeeded by Kate Jenkins.[2][16][17]

United Nations Rapporteur

Broderick established her own consultancy specialising in gender equality and was then appointed by the United Nations as a Special Rapporteur for the Working Group on Discrimination against Women and Girls in 2017.[2] She works alongside four other female experts to report to the Human Rights Council in Geneva on discrimination against women around the world.[2]

In 2018, Broderick launched Male Champions of Change globally.[2]

Awards

Broderick won in the Diversity category as well as recognized as the overall winner in the 2014 Women of Influence award.[18] She was also an Impact 25 winner in 2015.[19] On November, 2015, the University of New South Wales-Sydney conferred upon her an honorary degree honorary Doctorate of Laws for her "eminent service to both the Australian and international community".[20]

In 2016, she was awarded the New South Wales Australian of the Year for her being a "powerful and influential voice in the struggle for gender equality enlisting both women and men as agents of change."[21] She received the Australian Award for Excellence in Women's Leadership from the Women & Leadership Australia on the same year,[22] and won the 2016 Hall of Fame during the Women's Agenda Leadership Awards.[23]

Broderick was appointed Officer of the Order of Australia in 2017.[24]
