Supporting gender equity at work
Empowering women is an important element of how NAB supports our employees, serves customers well and helps the broader community prosper in an increasingly global marketplace. To underscore our commitment, we’re signed up to the UN Women’s Empowerment Principles,, opens in new window established by UN Women and the UN Global Compact Office.
Our commitment to workplace gender equity
We’re committed to reducing the gender pay gap and having a 40% to 60% gender balance throughout our business, including our Board and Subsidiary Boards.

We’re focused on fairness
We’re committed to fair and equitable remuneration for all employees, consistent with our market and performance framework. We actively address barriers to equal pay for all genders.
We’ve also extended 16 weeks of paid parental leave to eligible parents at NAB, regardless of gender.
We believe it’s important to recognise the interdependencies at play when it comes to equity. While NAB’s gender pay gap is 15.8%, lower than WGEA’s benchmark for the banking industry at 19.7%, there is much work to do to meet our 2025 target of a less than 10% gender pay gap.
With heightened expectations for every team to implement strategies to support female representation, we have seen some great initiatives being developed, including Private Wealth’s 1500 Degrees Program. 1500 degrees (the melting point of glass) is a nine-month program designed to prepare women for more senior roles. This is achieved through learning, networks and sponsorship opportunities.
