HERSTORY on RTRFM: Right Reverend Kay Goldsworthy
Right Rev. Kay Goldsworthy was one of the first women in Australia to be ordained priest and became the first woman in the country to be consecrated as a bishop in 2008. Born and raised in Melbourne, Goldsworthy left a career in hospitality to undertake her theological training at Melbourne’s Trinity College Theological School.
She arrived in Perth in 1988 and spent three decades serving as chaplain of Perth College and Rector of the parish of Applecross before being elected as the eighth archbishop of Perth in 2017. The following year, she was installed as the first female archbishop in the Anglican Church of Australia. She is the first woman to hold the title of Archbishop within the worldwide Anglican Communion, although two women have held similar positions internationally.
Goldsworthy is on many of the key leadership boards of the Anglican Church and chairs the national Anglican Women’s Commission. She also served as a Trustee of the Diocese of Perth and a member of the Boards of Anglicare and Amana Living Inc. A true glass-ceiling smasher, Goldsworthy’s powerful leadership and enduring commitment to her profession make her an inspiration to women from all walks of life.
Right Reverend Kay Goldsworthy was inducted in the Western Australia Women’s Hall of Fame in 2011.
In this episode of HERSTORY on RTRFM, Right Rev. Kay Goldsworthy speaks to Bec Bowman about the exciting and challenging parts of her profession, as well as raising a family in Perth.
