The Workplace Gender Equality Agency (WGEA) is an Australian Government statutory agency created by the Workplace Gender Equality Act 2012.
The Agency is charged with promoting and improving gender equality in Australian workplaces.
At UNSW we seek to foster a culture that is truly inclusive, in which all students and staff can reach their full potential.
In accordance with the requirements of the Workplace Gender Equality Act 2012, on Tuesday 7 June 2022, UNSW Sydney lodged its annual public report with the Workplace Gender Equality Agency and received a certificate of compliance.
The reports detail the University’s progress on some of our initiatives with respect to gender, during the year to 31 March 2022.
1) The Workplace Profile is designed to provide information about workforce composition, salaries and remuneration. It provides a snapshot of UNSW workforce as at 31 March 2022, as an aggregated table.
2) The Workforce Management Statistics is designed to provide numerical data relating to employee movements, by gender and (WGEA-defined) manager or non-manager category during the 12-month reporting period from 1-April-2021 to 31-March-2022.

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:
- Workplace Profile Report
- Workforce Management Statistics Report
- Questionnaire Report
