In 2010 the AFAP created a new initiative aimed at providing a forum to identify and pursue industrial and professional issues relevant to women pilot members. 

The AFAP Women's Network was launched and now numbers more than 500 members across Australia.

AFAP Women's Network events provide support and resources for these members and contributes to their learning about inspiring women to join - and thrive - within our profession.

These events also provide an excellent opportunity for members to network with other women pilots working in the Aviation industry.
