Gender pay gap

WGEA mandatory requirements for employers in Australia with over 100 staff to disclose their gender pay gap will come into effect on 27 February 2024.

As of 2024, Protiviti Australia meet this requirement and have produced our first report.

Protiviti is truly committed to gender equality in the workplace through its gender diversity initiatives. Addressing the gender pay gap is an essential part of our wider diversity, equality and inclusion strategy, which is at the heart of our culture.
