Workplace Gender Equality Agency targets

In accordance with the requirements of the Workplace Gender Equality Act 2012, on 28 May 2026 the University lodged its annual public report with WGEA.

WGEA will also publish the gender pay gaps for every Australian employer with 100 or more employees, including universities, annually.

Each employer has the opportunity to provide an Employer Statement that gives context to their gender pay gap results.
