In accordance with the requirements of the Workplace Gender Equality Act 2012, on Thursday 5 August 2021, UNSW Sydney lodged its annual public report with the Workplace Gender Equality Agency.

In 2021, WGEA has introduced a number of key changes to its annual compliance reporting program. The Compliance Reporting Program is a mandatory program under the Workplace Gender Equality Act 2012 . In previous years, the Agency provided the employer report in a single document known as the “Public Report”. This has now changed to three public reports:

  1. Workplace Profile Report
  2. Workforce Management Statistics Report
  3. Questionnaire Report

1)  The Workplace Profile is designed to provide information about workforce composition, salaries and remuneration. It provides a snapshot of UNSW workforce as at 1 February 2021, as an aggregated table.
