Gender equity

We are committed to transparency and accountability in progressing gender equity.

Our gender equity progress

We are committed to transparency and accountability in progressing gender equity across The Salvation Army. Based on our 2025 Workplace Gender Equality Agency reporting.

Gender pay gap

Our average gap is 4.0%, with a median gap of 2.6%

Compared with

Australia’s median gender pay gap of 21.1%

Women represent

 44% of our executive leadership cohort

Gender pay gaps are influenced by factors such as representation across different levels, not differences in pay for the same roles. We are focused on addressing these structural factors over time.

These results reflect our ongoing focus on fair pay, representation in leadership, and inclusive people practices. We recognise that gender equity is an ongoing journey and continue to strengthen representation across all levels of our organisation and address structural barriers that impact progression and pay equity.
