DT Infrastructure releases first WGEA Gender Pay Gap Employer Statement

DT Infrastructure has delivered its first Gender Pay Gap Employer Statement to the Workplace Gender Equality Agency (WGEA), marking an important step in our ongoing commitment to improve gender equality in the industry.

Employers with 100 or more employees must report gender pay gap data to WGEA under the Workplace Gender Equality Act 2012. This includes pay disparities, workforce composition, and policies on gender equality.

“We are proud to be a business that not only delivers transformative infrastructure but also fosters an environment where everyone has the opportunity to thrive,” said John Anderson, CEO.

“Our identity as a company is determined by the amazing people who work here, and we are committed to building a workplace that is safe, inclusive, and champions equality.”

The gender pay gap serves as an important measure of gender equality within an organisation, industry, and the broader economy. Closing this gap is essential for Australia’s economic future and aligns with our commitment to fostering a fair and inclusive workplace.

“A key part of our commitment to improving the workplace is our transparency and accountability in reporting the gender pay gap,” said John.

“For us, gender pay gap reporting goes beyond compliance—it’s about taking meaningful action to identify areas for improvement and drive positive change.”

Since DT Infrastructure’s acquisition by Gamuda, the business has developed targeted programs and initiatives to improve the gender balance on its project sites and increase the participation of women in technical roles.

DT Infrastructure has implemented policies and processes designed to promote diversity and ensure all employees are valued and supported. These include:

• Initiatives to encourage women into leadership roles across both blue and white-collar positions.
• Establishing policies and practices that assist in the removal of barriers to the progression of women in the industry
• Programs to inspire the next generation by engaging with female students through school and university partnerships, encouraging them to explore careers in construction and engineering.

DT Infrastructure believes diversity is critical to the success of the business. By championing gender equity and fostering inclusive workplaces, the business aims to play a positive role in building a stronger, more sustainable future for the industry.

The Employer gender pay gaps report 2023-24 is now live and can be found on the WGEA website.
