Australia’s Workplace Gender Equality Agency (WGEA) has awarded 115 companies its certification that recognises efforts to “combat key drivers of workplace gender inequality.”

The WGEA was set up in 2012 under the Gillard Labor government to promote gender equality and women’s participation across Australian workplaces.
