Reporting
Australian Workplace Equality Index
UQ completes the annual Australian Workplace Equality Index (AWEI) report for Pride in Diversity on the programs, policies and initiatives undertaken by UQ in regards to creating equality in the workplace for people who identify as gender, sex and sexuality diverse.
The AWEI is the national benchmark on LGBTIAQ workplace inclusion. The University was awarded a Silver award in 2018 and 2019. Based on the 2019 AWEI results, UQ is the top Queensland university and in the top 8 Australian universities in gender and sexuality diversity inclusion. In 2011 UQ was named as one of the top 10 most LGBTIAQ friendly Australian employers by Pride in Diversity.
Workplace Gender Equality Agency Compliance Report
The University of Queensland lodges an annual public report with the Workplace Gender Equality Agency (WGEA) in accordance with the requirements of the Workplace Gender Equality Act 2012.
WGEA requires that data is annualised and assumes that each individual worked full-time (for casual and part-time staff, data has been adjusted to show full-time figures).

When reviewing the report it is important to understand that WGEA requires organisations to categorise staff in a particular way. It is important to read information about "standardised occupational categories of managers and non-managers" in the WGEA reporting reference guide. For example, the 'Professionals' category will not be the same as the Professional staff category Universities use. Data were based on a snapshot taken on the University reporting date of 31 March each year. Casuals working at that time were also included.
Contact the Workplace Diversity and Inclusion team with feedback and questions.
