Gender Pay Gap Employer Statement

At Credit Union SA, we acknowledge and embrace our individual differences and the unique blend of experiences people bring to our workforce. We’re proactively focusing on creating a workplace that provides people of all backgrounds and circumstances the support they need to thrive and grow.

For Credit Union SA, it all starts with an inclusive leadership team that is empathetic, values led and representative of their staff and members. Currently over 53% of leadership roles across the organisation are held by women, including a predominately female executive team.

We are committed to closing the gender pay gap and incorporate this focus in all decisions relating to recruitment, talent management and succession planning.

The most recent results being a further reduction of 2% and our improvement placed us 19.6% lower than the banking industry average.
