In recent decades, women in Australia have made significant strides towards equality. At universities, in the workplace, in boardrooms and in government, a growing number of women have taken on leadership roles, forging pathways for other women and girls to follow.

MARILYN STEEL

From her first job in journalism, Marilyn has navigated often traditionally male-dominated industries to enjoy a diverse career path which has included working as banking marketing executive to corporate relations roles within the resources and energy sectors. Her most recent career pivot in 2022 has seen her take on a new national role supporting the development of renewable energy projects.

However, one of Marilyn’s greatest passions is raising awareness of, and funds to combat, a disease which claims the life of an Australian woman every eight hours  – ovarian cancer. In memory of her mother, Marilyn frocks up each year to be part of the annual Ovarian Cancer Research Foundation (OCRF) Frocktober campaign https://www.frocktober.org.au/page/68/about-frocktober. (This high-vis tutu moment is among her favourite – pictured). Established in 2000, the Ovarian Cancer Research Foundation (OCRF) has grown to become Australia’s leading independent body dedicated to funding national ovarian cancer research. Marilyn is proud to be an OCRF ambassador and one of the faces of the 2022 national Frocktober campaign which raised over $888,000 for Australian research into this insidious disease.

Closer to home, Marilyn is a GAPDL Board Member, serves on various advisory committees and is a previous Chairperson of Gladstone Women’s Health Centre.
