At Deloitte, our aspiration is to create a workplace that embraces each individual for their unique attributes and provides support for different life aspirations, stages and circumstances.
We are firmly committed to gender equity and ensuring we have women leaders, role models and allies in every part of our business, strongly influencing decision-making and change.
“We know that gender equity is not limited to overcoming disadvantages for women. Deloitte is serious about shining a light and overcoming barriers to enable all our people regardless of gender to have an equal opportunity to succeed and realise their full potential. We can all contribute to this, in small ways and large.”
Natalie James, Risk Advisory Partner and Gender Pillar co-lead

Our goal is to make work work for families. We know many of our people are at the stage of their lives when they’re considering whether to have a family, are embarking on that journey, are new parents or parents of small children. These are wonderful times, but they also bring with them decisions and pressures of balancing life, work and family. Our people have told us that they’re reassessing their careers and considering how they integrate their careers with family life. This is particularly the case for women across Deloitte, who are trying balance having children, working, pursuing a career where they can, making an impact, and life more broadly.
In response, we’ve developed a new approach to help our people. Coupled with DeloitteFlex and our parental leave policy, this new approach – Making Work Work For Families – is about relieving some of the pressure of being working parents.
We’re proud to announce that from 1 June, parents who choose to return to work on a part-time basis will receive additional support payments for 12 months and flexibility in relation to financial KPIs on re-entry into the business for up to 12 months. We’re also taking FamilyFlex to the next level by supporting parents of school aged kids to work more flexibly in school holidays (by compressing or elongating their weeks to spend time with their families). These changes are inclusive of all types of families including birth, adoptive, surrogate, foster and same-sex parents.
Together with a wider package of moves, such as additional leave for fertility treatments or in the unfortunate case of a miscarriage, these will make Deloitte a place where work and life works better for families. We will play our part in achieving gender equity across Australian organisations and we recognise that for every Australian mum or dad we support, another woman is more able to participate in the workforce.

International Women’s Day (IWD), is an annual day on which we celebrate the social, economic, cultural, and political achievements of women.
While our focus on gender balance at Deloitte is year-round, IWD also gives us the opportunity to reflect on challenges that still exist when it comes to making gender balance a reality and to highlight solutions to those challenges.
If you were to imagine a world free of bias, what would it look like? What kind of world would you picture? And how would we get there?
This year’s global International Women’s Day theme – #BreakTheBias – asks us all to reflect on these questions.
We can all #BreakTheBias through small actions, which through our own butterfly effect moments, can lead to lasting change. Watch the video below to learn more about how we can all #BeTheButterfly.
Stories from our people
We asked some of our team from across Deloitte to share their experiences of bias – how bias has impacted them and how it left them feeling.

Flexibility at Deloitte
Providing all our people with access to flexible ways of working.
At Deloitte, we have reimagined what ‘work’ looks like. Founded on concepts of trust, balance, wellbeing and the importance of personal connection, the Deloitte Experience (DX) empowers our people to make choices about where they work based on their client, team and individual needs and how they connect with their clients and each other.
Our market-leading flexible work policy now includes 12 flexible working options, including wellbeing days, cultural leave, and allowing our people to shape their working day outside of the traditional 9-to-5!
Check out the video below to learn more about the new DX and what this means for all of us at Deloitte Australia.

Supporting families
Offering progressive policies to support your different life stages.
At Deloitte, we aspire to be an outstanding workplace for families, where our policies, culture and experience not only allow but actively promote the integration of work and life!
We recognise that families come in all shapes and sizes and that we each define our family differently – whether it be a partner (including same sex and defacto), a parent, child, sibling, friend or pet, our policies are inclusive and we aim to support different life stages.
Parents at work
We partner with Parents at work, a membership-based organisation providing work and family education and policy advisory services to workplaces and their people.
Through Parents at Work, our people have access to a suite of tools and resources and we provide all our parents with access to three external one-on-one coaching sessions to be used at a time that suits them before, during or after their return from parental leave.
Progressive Parental Leave Policy
At Deloitte we aim to provide flexibility and choice in how our people care for their children. Our market leading policy provides 18 weeks of paid leave inclusive of all types of families including birth, adoptive, surrogate, foster and same-sex parents. This can be taken over the first 36 months after the arrival of a child in three flexible ways, including on a part-time weekly basis. We continue to pay superannuation contributions while taking unpaid parental leave and provide our people the option to take leave at the same time as their partner.
You can learn more about how we're supporting families through our Deloitte Families here.
Your wellbeing
Ensuring everyone has equal opportunity to grow, develop and succeed.
We’re committed to creating a safe, respectful and inclusive culture where everyone has equal opportunity to grow, develop and succeed. Wellbeing lays the foundation for this and is core to ensuring that everyone is able to reach their full potential and thrive.
Supporting mental health is a critical aspect of inclusion and we’re working to address the stigma that still too often exists within society on this topic. We recognise the importance of our people knowing how and where to seek support when they are experiencing mental health challenges and raising such concerns without fear of stigma.
We offer several ways in which our people can look after their health: from flu vaccinations, accessing self-care resources, coaching services and access to our EAP for all Partners, employees and their families.
