In the area of gender diversity, we recognise that there is more work to be done in Australia, where structurally, women in the ICT sector have been under represented. As a start, we have increased the number of females in the Optus Management Associate Programme from 25% in 2014 to 42% in 2015. We are also increasing the networking and mentoring support provided to our female talent for their leadership and career development.
