SYDNEY, March 5, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Great Place To Work®, the global authority on workplace culture, today announces the 2026 list of Australia’s Best Workplaces™ for Women, recognising 50 organisations that have proven it’s possible to deliver exceptional business performance while still creating cultures where women can thrive at every level.
Australia’s Best Workplaces™ for Women 2026
Each company on this year’s list has earned its place following a rigorous assessment of confidential employee feedback representing the voices of 23, 478 women across Australia, a detailed analysis of organisational culture, and insights from the official Workplace Gender Equality Agency.
“These companies aren’t marking their own homework – the bar is genuinely high,” said Rebecca Moulynox, General Manager of Great Place To Work Australia and New Zealand. “This list only champions employers that back their commitments on flexibility, fair pay and women in leadership with real numbers and real experiences.”

“These workplaces aren’t just waiting for equity to happen,” said Rebecca Moulynox. “They’ve embedded fairness into everyday decision-making, creating cultures where flexibility, psychological safety, and growth opportunities are pillars of performance.”
Despite steady awareness gains, the research shows many women still report unequal access to advancement opportunities and lingering disparities in representation at the senior level. Yet at the best workplaces, these gaps are narrowing. Women in top-ranked organisations are twice as likely to say they have an equal chance to grow their careers and three times more likely to describe their leaders as fair and inclusive.
