Gender Equality at Aurecon Australia

Gender equality means removing barriers and enabling equal participation and opportunity in all aspects of life for every person of every gender.

We aim to improve gender representation in our workforce and leadership, and to play our part in progressing gender equality. We do this for each Aurecon employee, for Aurecon, for our clients and for the communities in which we live, work and play.

Our focus is mostly on professional roles, technical roles, and leadership positions.

Aurecon holds an Employer of Choice for Gender Equality (EOCGE) citation from the Workplace Gender Equality Agency (WGEA). We use this citation ― received for our commitment to promoting gender equality in Australian workplaces ― as a framework for our gender equality strategy.

While this is a journey, we continue to make progress on our goal to disrupt gendered expectations and norms and seek genuine choice and opportunity for all employees.
