Australia's Gender Equality Indicators

The WGEA metadata registry describes the gender equality indicators used by the Workplace Gender Equality Agency (WGEA) to measure and track the progress of Australian workplaces towards gender equality. Under the Workplace Gender Equality Act 2012, non-public sector employers with 100 or more employees must report to the WGEA annually. This covers over 12,000 Australian organisations. Information collected and contained in the data files are the gender composition of the workforce and governing bodies/boards, percentage of organisations with policy and/or strategies across a broad range of gender equality issues, paid parental leave and flexible work arrangement offerings.
