Driving Gender Equality Through Action and Accountability 
How progress is strengthened when everyone is part of the work 

Achieving gender equality requires more than awareness – it requires united action. 

In this Lunch & Learn session, we explore ways men can actively contribute to conversations, advocacy and action to help ensure accountability around gender equality is the standard across the superannuation sector. 

This session focuses on practical, action-oriented approaches. Participants will gain insights into how to foster constructive conversations, build shared accountability, and encourage meaningful action in everyday workplace interactions. 

Through discussion and real-world examples, this session will support members (and their male colleagues) to influence change, strengthen workplace dynamics, and contribute to more inclusive and equitable environments. 

Why attend? 

Progress accelerates when responsibility is shared and action is visible. 

This session will help you: 

• Understand how to move conversations from awareness to action 
• Drive accountability and follow-through on gender equality initiatives 
• Navigate challenging conversations with confidence and clarity 
• Build shared ownership of gender equality outcomes 
• Strengthen your ability to influence change at all levels
