"On paper things looked great … [but] I was a mess. And after 18 months, I sort of fell apart pretty catastrophically." Georgie Dent is the CEO of The Parenthood, a not-for-profit that advocates to make Australia the best place in the world to raise a child. She's also a writer, journalist and, in her words, "reformed lawyer". Her company recently partnered with FW to produce the podcast series At What Cost, a three-episode deep dive into Australia’s childcare crisis. In this episode, Georgie opens about the breakdown she had early in her career, public advocacy and why, as CEO, she only works a four day week.

When is a choice not a choice? Almost a quarter of Australia’s population is now living in a ‘childcare desert’ - and this scarcity means that many families’ financial and work schedules hinge on being offered a childcare spot in the first place.

How did struggling to access affordable childcare become the norm? The sky-high costs directly impact women’s economic security, career progression and happiness – and fuel the gender pay gap and gender super gap, as well as homelessness later in life. Georgie Dent speaks with parents and experts to examine the true cost of childcare in this country … and learns why – when Australia could be world-leading in setting children and families up to thrive – it’s instead lagging behind comparable countries.

Hey Anon listeners! We wanted to share another podcast we think you'll love about Australia's childcare crisis. It's called At What Cost? In the blur of early parenthood, many parents don’t stop to think about how the roles they adopt at home – as the primary caregiver, or as the breadwinner – impact their careers and finances in the long-term. But they do. And when families can’t access affordable childcare, it’s generally women whose job security takes a hit. This fuels gender inequality on a national scale… contributing to the gender pay gap and the super gap. It also leaves real mums like Emma, whose story we hear in this episode, grappling with housing insecurity and an uncertain future. Join our host Georgie Dent in our third and final full-length episode as we unpack the costs of the childcare crisis to gender equality and the economy Plus: experts share five key solutions that could help make childcare truly accessible and affordable for all – which would be transformative for our country, and especially women.

Ever heard of a daycare desert? It's an area where the number of available spots at the local childcare centre are few and far between.  A new Productivity Commission report has found that quite a few Aussies are being left in the lurch when it comes to secure a spot for their tiny human.  Today we find out what parents are going through for daycare and why the commission doesn't think it impacts our return to work choices at all.

Coalition Senator Jane Hume delivered a recent speech to the Syndey Institute that touched on a range of issues including the need for women to have a greater sense of financial security. It sparked a reaction from The Parenthood CEO, Georgie Dent, and Georgie laid down a challenge to Australia's politicians: fix early childhood education so it is more affordable and accessible people. She argues a range of benefits flow from getting this right. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

There's no nice way to put it: Australian childcare is broken, and not just for those with children. It's prohibitively expensive, getting the days you're after is like winning the lottery and if you do get some government subsidy, you have the pleasure of hours on the phone to Centrelink. We're at a critical point though. The government has promised a huge overhaul of the system and the prime minister is considering reducing the cost to just $10 per kid, per day. Today, CEO of The Parenthood Georgie Dent on the problems at the core of this broken system and the Centre for Policy Development's Katherine Oborne on one way to fix it.

Host Amelia Phillips and executive director of The Parenthood Georgie Dent discuss the structural and societal framework that is stacked against parents.

A new report by the Australian Council of Trade unions has found increasing paid parental leave to 52 weeks by 2030 would benefit the economy by $26 billion. Executive Director of The Parenthood, Georgie Dent will attend the National Jobs Summit tomorrow, backing union calls for Paid Parental Leave to be increased to 52 weeks by 2030. "The average length of paid leave available to parents is 50 weeks... now here in Australia we've got 18 weeks of the minimum wage," Georgie told Oly on 6PR.  "America is the only developed country that offers a less adequate standard than we do."

What would make your life easier? How about a year of shared paid parental leave and universal access to early education and childcare and out-of-school care? This would mean that you could share the first year with your new baby with your partner and that child care would be like primary school; almost free and easily accessible. Georgie Dent is the Executive Director of The Parenthood. She's lobbying for these changes and believes that this election is the time that we could change the way we raise kids in Australia.

We're back, BroadTalkers! And in this special series we cast a razor-sharp gender lens over the politics, policy, and pork-barrelling of Australia's Federal Election 2022. Joining Virginia Haussegger to discuss the first week of campaigning are Jane Caro and Georgie Dent.This week the BroadTalk team ask whether a Federal integrity commission is a vote-changer, discuss the way that greater access to childcare could turbo-charge job creation, ask when our political leaders are going to have a debate about equity, and wonder where the voice of women was in week one of the campaign.Jane Caro AM is a Walkley Award winning author and columnist who is standing as a candidate for Reason Australia for the Senate at the forthcoming election.Georgie Dent is a journalist, editor, author, and prominent advocate for women's empowerment, gender equality and mental health.

This week on the podcast I am speaking with Georgie Dent, journalist, editor, speaker, and prominent advocate for parents, families, and women. The former lawyer is the Executive Director of The Parenthood, an independent for-purpose advocacy organisation that represents over 72,000 parents, carers and allies around Australia.   In Australia, we have an incredible education system and for over two decades women have been graduating from university in slightly higher numbers than men. Australia is the number one country in the world for female educational attainment. As Georgie explains, we don't have a skills shortage because when a baby comes into the picture, women are retreating from the workforce as earning less and less money. Whilst fathers often get the 'dad bonus' to work and earn more than ever before and this gap only increases over time. As we discuss in this episode, even though couples may approach family life as equals and they want to share the care, the world they live in doesn't support that. Australia is ranked 70th in the world for female workforce participation, and this is falling each year.  During this episode we talk about: The motherhood penalty and the impacts on women  Systematic changes needed to support female workforce participation Discrimination women experience when they announce they are pregnant  Government policies and attitudes that contribute to women stepping back from the workforce  Benefits to fathers being actively engaged in caring for their children  Positive economic impacts of women working  Importance and positive impacts of good paid parental leave and early childhood education systems and policies  International examples with supportive policies to support working parents  How businesses can be the voice of change to support employees  As Georgie mentions "It's only when parents are supported can children thrive".  Be sure to leave a rating & review and subscribe so you don't miss an episode.    Continue the conversation and join the Working Mumma Village.

How safe are they?

Steve Price speaks to The Parenthood's executive director Georgie Dent as a national survey reveals two-thirds of parents believe it is unsafe for children to return to classrooms in a few weeks' time. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Motherhood Penalty in Australia is staggering, but it's not beyond our imagination to change this. Georgie Dent co-hosts the podcast this week, to explain more on the more than $800,000 penalty working mothers face in Australia, why childcare and parental leave could transform Australia, and the campaign pushing to change that through The Parenthood. In more research, we look into the latest HILDA data just released, highlighting all the additional unpaid hours of work women are putting in, as well as some curious other trends including why young women are staying home longer, and how men and women are having less children than they thought they would. Plus, we highlight the rise of (mostly female) independents who look set to change everything we know about politics, and how Mackenzie Scott became the world's most powerful woman, according to Forbes. Our guest is Dr Esperanza Vera-Toscano, economist and senior research fellow at the Melbourne Institute of Applied Economic and Social Research, and an author of the latest Household, Income and Labour Dynamics in Australia (HILDA) report. Esperanza is interviewed by Women's Agenda journalist Madeline Hislop.

This week! Georgie Dent joins the podcast to discuss why we won't be lectured by the Morrison Government on women's safety, or anything really. His government is running a women's safety summit in the same week that he has rejected 49 of 55 recommendations by Kate Jenkins for creating safe workplaces and working towards a future free from sexual harassment.Plus, we look at some much-needed wins for women this week, andthere have been some good ones.And, we're thrilled to bring you a discussion with Dai Le, aFairfield City Councillor, as well as Yvonne Weldon,the first Indigenous woman to ever run for Sydney Lord Mayor, on a mission to bringback integrity to government.They discuss how COVID-19 is impacting their work and their communities,and how their navigating politics.

We also share some key wins for women, including what we love about Ash Barty, as well as the game-changing moments that come when high-profile women courageously speak out about the toxic work cultures they have encountered. And we look at the large Sydney employer who told staff, during a COVID-19 related lockdown, that they can't "work from home" while also taking primary caring responsibilities for kids aged seven and under. From MP Linda Burney (interview starts around 19 minutes in), we hear her take on this year's NAIDOC theme, Heal Country. She talks about what needs to be done, including on truth-telling, on climate change, on COVID-19, and on harnessing the expertise and wisdom of Aboriginal women.

Is $240 million enough for 'women's economic security' in Australia? Ahh, hardly. No. But that's what was announced in Tuesday night's Federal Budget by Treasurer Josh Frydenberg. No 'credible woman' is claiming that women have missed out in the big budget spending that presented a massive opportunity to shift the dial on everything. At least, that's according to the Government that created this budget. So three apparently not-so-credible women including Shivani Gopal, Georgie Dent and Angela Priestley have a look at what was on offer -- or not -- in this 20 minute budget special.

Childcare misses out in the Federal Budget - Georgie Dent See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

A report from KPMG shows increasing subsidies for childcare to 95 per cent of total costs would add an extra $2.1 billion in economic activity.  The Parenthood executive director Georgie Dent says there are very tangible economic benefit from investing in childcare.  "We know the cost of early education in Australia is high, for lots of women there is no financial benefit to working more than three days a week."

This episode, we're bringing you the audio from an online Town Hall Meeting conducted by parent advocacy group The Parenthood on Tuesday the 26th of May. Lisa was invited to speak on the panel, alongside Danielle Wood, an economist from the Grattan Institute; Polly Dunning, a teacher and writer; and Jay Weatherill, the CEO of Thrive by Five.   The event was hosted the Parenthood's campaign director Georgie Dent, and tackled a variety of important questions - including how families have been affected by the funding changes to the sector, what free ECEC would mean for Australia, how educators and the sectors can be better valued, and what we all need to do to work together as advocates during this time.   We'd like to thank The Parenthood and Georgie Dent for allowing us to re-broadcast this event - we think it's great advocacy.   Find the full shownotes at earlyeducationshow.com.

Is a disaster for childcare looming that will see kids pulled from care and more women out of work? Childcare has been provided free to those who need it during the Pandemic. But the Federal Government is looking at pulling the additional funding earlier than expected to 'snap back' to what we had before.Georgie Dent tells Angela Priestley why that would be a disaster for the sector, for children, and for working parents.Georgie is a contributing editor on Women's Agenda and on the board of The Parenthood, an advocacy group for working parents.

Below Deck is the breakout novel by Australia’s newest literary sensation, Sophie Hardcastle. A heart-wrenching, poetic story about the vagaries of consent and the question of who has the space to speak, Below Deck charts several years in the life of a young woman who wakes up on a boat with no recollection of how she got there. Georgie Dent meets Sophie to discuss the novel hailed as a “tender, hopeful battle-cry” (Brooke Davis) by “a phenomenal, courageous talent” (Clementine Ford).

We return to the 'glass cliff' theory, and question its place in the age of the pandemic.Are women elevated to top roles when the task is particularly tough?Shivani Gopal, Angela Priestley and Georgie Dent also touch on a wide number of issues affecting women this week, including the everyday sexism and harassment that's still going on in the media.Stories we refer to include: ‘The game is bigger than one individual’: Raelene Castle quits as Rugby Australia CEOhttps://womensagenda.com.au/latest/the-game-is-bigger-than-one-individual-raelene-castle-quits-as-rugby-australia-ceo/COVID19 is nearly 10 times more deadly in Sweden than other Nordic countrieshttps://womensagenda.com.au/latest/covid19-is-nearly-10-times-more-deadly-in-sweden-than-other-nordic-countries/Leigh Sales highlights sexualised social media abuse women in public eye facehttps://womensagenda.com.au/latest/leigh-sales-highlights-sexualised-social-media-abuse/‘Optimism is the determination to win this challenge.

This week we’re talking about how women are leading on COVID-19, the need to ensure every country’s recovery response considers women and girls, and why this work from home thing shouldn't be an experiment in productivity.Just 8 per cent of UN recognised countries are led by women, but new stats show that almost half of the countries doing better on coronavirus are led by women.So why is women’s leadership so different and so important right now? Angela Priestley discusses the issue with Shivani Gopal and Georgie Dent.The team also discuss why every country’s recovery response must intentionally consider women and girls, in order to ensure we maintain some level of progress on gender equality.And finally, are you working from home? Got kids in the background? How's it going? Workplaces have made a huge shift in enabling employees to work from home and we're quickly adapting. But is this the great experiment in productivity we need to prove it's possible? We're not so sure, but have differing views on the matter,.

This is our International Women's Day podcast edition! We get to meet one of the most inspiring women who has ever come to Women's Agenda (and that is saying a LOT), Dr Kakenya Ntaiya.Engaged to be married at five in Kenya, Kakenya had different ideas for her future. She shares her story of education, studying in the United States and then returning home to start two schools for girls, and work on the 130 million girls who are still not in school internationally.Our chat with Kakenya starts around 24 minutes in.But first, Georgie Dent, Shivani Gopal and Angela Priestley are talking International Women's Day. Why do we need it? Has it gone too far? Is it actually creating more work for women when we already have way too much on?We also answer some 'rapid fire questions', including whether we'd accept Donald Trump as a boss if it meant he was no longer president of the United States, along with questions about morning routines and television shows we'd prefer to not admit we're watching.This is one very wide-ranging episode.Remember, pretty much everything we discuss has been written about in some way over on Women's Agenda.

We cover a huge range of topics this week, starting with the most pressing: the urgent changes that need to happen to address domestic and family violence in Australia.We also speak to astronomer and Australia’s Women in STEM Ambassador, Professor Lisa Harvey Smith, about why the numbers are so stubborn when it comes to women in STEM, what we can do about it, and a little more about how Lisa paved a way into a male-dominated profession.And what actually makes an employer a good one for women? More than 100 organisations have this week received a citation as being an excellent place for 'gender equality'. But are great experiences at work a matter of excellent policies -- or does it really come down to the person we directly report to?Finally on our minds this week: Harvey Weinstein, the never-ending question about being a ‘good parent’, and the environmental WIN that demonstrates it’s worth getting involved.Join Angela Priestley, Georgie Dent and Shivani Gopal for this wide-ranging conversation.Check out links to the stories we discuss below What happened in Brisbane on Wednesday has to be a turning pointhttps://womensagenda.com.au/latest/what-happened-in-brisbane-on-wednesday-has-to-be-a-turning-point/Senator Larissa Waters on why words matter when reporting violence (just want to include this in the show notes) https://womensagenda.com.au/latest/words-matter-when-reporting-violence/Astronomer Professor Lisa Harvey-Smith named Australia’s first Women in STEM ambassadorhttps://womensagenda.com.au/latest/astrophysicist-lisa-harvey-smith-named-australias-first-women-in-stem-ambassador/‘Change is a verb’ so talk won’t cut it: A wrap up from Catalysing Gender Equity 2020https://womensagenda.com.au/latest/catalysing-gender-equity-conference/The 119 employers recognised as employers of choice for gender equality https://womensagenda.com.au/business/the-119-employers-recognised-as-employers-of-choice-for-gender-equality/Equinor abandons Great Australian Bight oil drilling project: ‘Never doubt the power and determination of the Australian people’https://womensagenda.com.au/latest/equinor-abandons-great-australia-bight-oil-drilling-project-never-doubt-the-power-and-determination-of-the-australian-people/ See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

We are back! With a new line up of familiar and new co-hosts, the Women’s Agenda Podcast is back in 2020 and going bigger than ever before. This week, Georgie Dent and Angela Priestley talk leadership brightspots from across the globe, after what’s been a particularly challenging start to the decade. We go to Finland, where 34 year old Prime Minister Sanna Marin has announced a paid parental leave scheme that will give ALL parents almost seven months leave.

Georgie Dent is a name familiar to the readers of marie claire – as a journalist and editor she has written passionately for our mag and website on many topics usually around gender equality and women’s rights. But she saved her biggest story for her new book which tells the riveting story of how her picture perfect life – a dream job at a prestigious Sydney law firm, the perfect relationship, a family that loved and supported her - completely unravelled at the age of 25 and left her broken, unemployed, and back living with her parents. Suffering from crippling anxiety and chronic health problems the only way up was to book herself into a psychiatric hospital. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

On today's show, we tackle everything from Gwyneth Paltrow's living arrangements to the Adani coal mine. And yes, the fact that Keanu Reeves is apparently good in bed. The ideal husband, according to Gwyneth Paltrow, is one who lives somewhere else. At least part of the time. In an interview with TheSunday Times over the weekend, Gwyneth Paltrow said she and her husband of less than a year, Brad Falchuk, live in separate homes in Los Angeles for 3 nights of the week. And a lot of you think it’s a good idea. But is it a rich person’s problem or a solution to keeping your relationship fresh? Plus, a year ago Eurydice Dixon was murdered. But has anything changed since then? Jessie did some research, and you might find yourself surprised. And we answer a group therapy about a baby and a dog that will give you all the feels.

When Georgie Dent was asked when her nervous breakdown began, she had to think. Really think. Was it at 19 when she found herself diagnosed with a disease she’d never heard of? Was it a few months later when she was diagnosed with Crohn’s disease? Was it at 24 when by all accounts, her life was perfect - working as a lawyer at a prestigious firm in Sydney and living with her then boyfriend and now husband, Nick? Or was it all of those things, combined? And did it really matter? Because it happened. At the age of 24, Georgie Dent’s life fell apart. And she found herself in a psychiatric hospital. Georgie's written a book called Breaking Badly that details this part of her life and she joins Mia now to speak about it... Click here to subscribe to No Filter.

Georgie Dent is a successful writer, finance expert and mum of three. She's confident, gracious and appears completely unflappable. But in her 20s Georgie had a breakdown. Her world fell apart and she spent two weeks in a psychiatric ward. Her book, Breaking Badly, how I worried myself sick, tells that story, and in this interview, Georgie shares how hitting rock bottom helped her break the cycle of negative thinking that led her there in the first place.  

Georgina Dent is a journalist, an editor, and a passionate advocate for gender equality. The former lawyer is a regular media commentator, public speaker, MC and is the contributing editor of Women's Agenda.
