Australia’s new gender equality reporting laws set a bold global precedent. By March 2026, organisations with over 500 employees must set and publicly report on three gender equality targets—at least one must be numerical. Targets are essential for accountability, but if you focus only on the numbers without addressing the systems that drive them, you risk falling short.

Symmetra empowers organisations to achieve their gender equality targets by taking a whole of systems approach:

• It begins with leadership. Our Inclusion for Purpose and Performance program equips leaders to challenge bias, make inclusive decisions, and foster diverse talent pipelines.
• But leadership alone isn’t enough. Our Allies Program builds the confidence and capability of all employees—regardless of gender— to speak up, act with insight, and champion equitable outcomes.
• At the same time, our Women in Leadership programs empower women to advance in their careers by enhancing skills, visibility, adaptability, and resilience. These programs work together to dismantle structural barriers and support career advancement.
