Gender equity
KPMG advocates for reforms and policy settings that promote gender equality in Australia. While women do half of all the work in Australia, they continue to face a gender pay, income and superannuation gap.
KPMG’s Gender Equity Series proposes policy settings aimed at shifting the dial in a number of key areas, including parental equity, superannuation, retirement security, childcare, and parental leave.

Building Australia’s international competitiveness
As Australia looks towards its economic recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic, it is important to consider our competitiveness in the global market. Skilled migration, building our capability in areas such as FinTech, Reg Tech and Artificial Intelligence, and measures that boost productivity across the business community can all play a role in building Australia’s international competitiveness.
