Why We Existed
A more inclusive tech industry starts with access and opportunity. That means breaking down barriers to learning and opening doors to real-world mentorship and opportunities. From the first line of code to the first job offer, women and other marginalised groups face both seen and unseen obstacles and we existed to change that. Together with our industry partners, we opened doors for hundreds of Australian women to secure meaningful, flexible, and financially secure careers in tech.
After years of working at the grassroots of gender equity in tech, Code Like a Girl has now closed down. However, you can enjoy our learning resources for free.
Read about our impactWe spent nearly a decade designing education and internship pathways that worked for women — because we understood the unique barriers they faced. From juggling family responsibilities, to entering tech later in life, to being the only woman in a classroom full of men, the path wasn't always linear. But with the right support, it was absolutely possible.
Our programs didn't just teach technical skills — they built confidence, networks, and community. We knew that many women struggled to break into an industry where opportunities often flowed through informal (and male-dominated) networks. That's why we created our own.
We helped hundreds of women across Australia land their first role in tech, not by asking them to fit the mould — but by changing the mould itself. Through collaboration with industry, and a focus on equity at every stage, we worked to make tech more inclusive, one career at a time. While our programs have closed, our learning platform remains available for free.
