EMILY's List Australia is a political network in Australia that supports progressive Labor Party (ALP) women candidates seeking election to political office. Founded in 1996, EMILY's List Australia was inspired by EMILY's List, a political action committee with similar goals in the United States.
Issues central to the organisation's support of candidates are the principles of equity, diversity, reproductive rights, and the provision of equal pay and childcare.[1] The organisation supports candidates through directed donations, "Early Money" financial support, gender gap research and volunteer support.[2] Over 284 EMILY's List members have been elected to state and federal Australian Parliaments as 2013.[3]
