THE AUSTRALIAN WOMEN’S PULSE 2026

Women are constantly being marketed to, analysed and told what they need. But how often are we genuinely asked how we are feeling, what matters to us and what we need?

The Australian Women’s Pulse is a Project Emerald Collective initiative created to listen.

Your anonymous responses will help us understand the issues affecting women’s lives, guide the conversations and content we create, and identify where greater support, awareness and action are needed.

There are no right or wrong answers. We want to hear what is true for you. The survey takes approximately five minutes.
