We’re committed to improving gender equality

It’s a priority of NSW Government to improve the gender equality of our supply chain. Increasing women’s economic opportunities benefits women, families, and the economy.

Lifting the rate of women’s paid workforce participation to equal men’s over the next 20 years would increase employment growth and lead to an NSW economy that is 8% larger by 2061; the equivalent of increasing household income by $22,000 (in 2019–20 dollars).

We have allocated businesses to one category if they have contracts across several categories. They could:

  • have multiple trading names and profiles under one ABN in Supplier Hub e.g. Mercedes Benz Australia/Pacific Pty Ltd, Daimler Truck & Bus Australia Pacific Pty Ltd, and we have counted them as one ABN
  • hold WGEA Employer of Choice citation but are not registered in Supplier Hub and the NSWP Sourcing team will contact them to make a profile.
