Why WGEA compliance matters

Reporting is mandatory

Every private-sector employer with 100 or more Australian employees must lodge a gender-equality report between 1 April and 31 May each year.

More employees, extra rules

From 2025-26, employers with 500 + staff must set and track progress against three gender-equality targets chosen from WGEA indicators.

Visibility is rising

WGEA publishes median pay-gap figures and a public list of non-compliant employers, exposing late or inaccurate reporters to reputational damage.

Opportunity is at stake

Organisations that fall off the compliance list can be locked out of Commonwealth tenders and other government funding.

Clumsy and onerous data ecosystem inhibits action
Leaders unsure how to translate strategic goals into day-to-day decisions
Talent systems (recruitment, promotion, succession) don’t challenge decision biases
Limited pipeline of women ready for senior roles
Allies not mobilised to challenge inequity in real time

Close Your Gender gaps

Addressing these gaps requires more than just meeting regulatory requirements. It means aligning leadership, culture, and talent systems to create an environment where gender equality can thrive. Focused action and practical support help organisations move beyond compliance towards sustainable progress.
