Oaks Club

Despite the fact that the accounting profession in Australia employs 54% females, less than 5% of partners and principals are women. This anomaly has created a series of issues with many senior female practitioners feeling isolated, outnumbered and intimidated.

Oaks Club was created in March 2007 and a group of close to 50 female partners and principals meet several times a year to discuss practice management issues. The network provides a forum for decision makers in their firm to share ideas, systems, templates and technical information in a non-threatening environment. It also provides support, encouragement and assistance by recognising and addressing the different issues female practitioners face compared to their male counterparts.

The group meet in a seminar type environment at a venue near Chadstone in the south eastern suburbs of Melbourne. It is relatively informal and the 'group therapy' and 'brainstorming' sessions encourage participation and sharing of ideas and experiences.
