There has been awareness spread about diversity initiatives like NAODIC week, reconciliation events, International Women's Day, Women in STEM and so forth. I have not seen many events promoting the LGBTQIA+ community here though and would like to see that.

The company is extremely committed to diversity.

Hard to tell policy-wise, but everyone is listened to equally, or based on seniority - being engineering, still more men than women.

Gender diversity is being championed and actively prioritised in hiring and forming teams. Unsure about other factors.

I think its pretty good and inclusive.

I think the commitment to diversity is there, but it needs to be more effective. Some teams have almost no women, and most management tends to be male and white.

My impression is that diversity is quite good but I don't have any concrete data on this. Cochlear are an equal opportunity employer so my understanding is that this is a focus for recruitment.

All people are welcomed and acknowledged. The workplace is very inclusive.

Diversity is good in certain areas and overall, however when looking at specific teams there is limited gender diversity.

Seems to be a diverse workplace

There parental leave policy makes it difficult for men to take the same amount of leave as women. They have 6 months for primary carers and only 6 weeks for secondary carers, however if their partner has taken primary carer leave (even at a different company) they aren't eligible. Given women need to recover and breastfeed after birth it would then mean men are virtually unable to take the primary carer's leave at any time.

There is a women in engineering group and many female engineers within the company. Unaware of any HR initiative that supports diversity. Senior management and principal engineers are mostly male.
