Welcome to the Association for Computing Machinery – Woman (ACM-W) Student Chapter at Monash supports, celebrates, and advocates for women and gender-diverse people in computing — and is open to all Monash IT students.

A new chapter. A lasting community.

The ACM-W Student Chapter at Monash University is a community dedicated to supporting,celebrating, and advocating for women and gender-diverse persons in computing and technology. We are part of the global ACM-W network — one of the world's most recognised communities in computing.

At Monash, we bring together like-minded students to organise meaningful programmes and activities that benefit the entire IT community — whether you're here to build networks,grow professionally, or simply find your people.

Our mission

• Inspiring women and non-binary individuals to pursue, persist in, and lead within  computing and related disciplines at every level.
• Creating genuine connections through talks, workshops, and events with industry  leaders and academic professionals who invest in the next generation.
• Advocating for equity, diversity, and inclusion within computing education and workplaces — because the best technology is built by diverse minds.
• Equipping members with the tools, training, and exposure they need to thrive — through conferences, competitions, and professional development resources.
