They are trying which is obvious in the new graduate intakes but at the more senior level it is greatly lacking.
Graduate, Canberra - 27 Oct 2023
OK - as a young queer person I feel pretty accepted. Can't really speak to cultural diversity but I know there are some issues with it in particular teams.
Graduate, Canberra - 19 Oct 2023
Diversity from a gender perspective is positive, I would say there is a lack of diversity in terms of socio-economic position.
Graduate, Perth - 18 Oct 2023
I was hired through a diversity program.

Heading in the right direction
Graduate, Perth - 17 Oct 2023
My impression is that CU is committed to diversity, and has a number of initiatives to back this up. However, I am not privy to issues such as recruitment, retention and promotion etc. so am unsure how the firm stacks up on this front.
Graduate, Brisbane - 17 Oct 2023
There are a lot of initiatives to promote diversity in different areas including LGBTQIA, First Nations and other cultural diversity, gender parity, carers etc. We are consistently updated on policy changes such as 6 months parental leave for any carer (no differentiation between primary and secondary carer), there are training sessions, panel events and momentum committees to discuss issues.
Graduate, Sydney - 17 Oct 2023
I know we are actively working towards reaching our gender equality targets - need to work on cultural diversity but am starting to see this reflected slowly amongst the juniors coming to the firm, perhaps would be good to add a LGBTIQA+ charity to our community connect partners
Graduate, Melbourne - 17 Oct 2023
I would like to see more diversity in the partnership.
I understand that the firm is heavily investing in parental leave, however, given the ageing population, I think carers leave (for elderly parents and relatives) will become just as important as maternity leave.
Graduate, Sydney - 12 Oct 2023
Very good, both the partnership and employees are highly represented by women, ethnic minorities and the LGBTIQA+ communities.
Graduate, Sydney - 11 Oct 2023
Diversity with respect to women is great. Ethnic minorities is not great and this is an area for improvement, namely Indigenous Australians. My understanding is that the LGBTIQA+ initiatives are good.
