Financy (WGEA) Stress Test
Stress Test Your WGEA Targets
Turn 2026 compliance into Credibility Currency. Identify your mandatory targets, pressure-test your culture committments, and secure the ROI on your actions.
The Risk is Public. Compliance is Critical. The Solution is Strategic Action & Amplification
By May 2026, every Australian employer with 500+ staff must publicly commit to three gender equality targets. For those with 100+ staff, the annual spotlight on your pay gap and culture is intensifying.
If your “Employer Say-So” (policy) doesn’t match your “Employee Reality” (culture), you aren’t just facing a regulatory reporting hurdle—you have a perception gap that equates to Reputation and Financial Risk.
What is the Financy (WGEA) Stress Test?
Our Stress Test is built on over a decade of gender equality advocacy and national progress benchmarking. It is a comprehensive WGEA Target audit, strategy and creative content package that transforms your data into a Verified Credibility Currency.
We move you from “Compliance Risk” to “Market Confidence” in three high-impact stages.
