Alicia Hunter

Co-Director and CFO

Lead Trainer, Northern Territory

Darwin-based and deeply embedded in the Northern Territory business community, Alicia leads PPP's training across the Top End.

For employers with 100 or more staff

Your gender equality targets now need evidence, not intentions.

From 2026, Australian employers with 100 or more staff report annually to the Workplace Gender Equality Agency, and larger employers must commit to and show progress against gender equality targets, including flexible working arrangements and support for parents and carers. Employers who cannot demonstrate progress risk being publicly named and losing the ability to provide services to government.

A workshop shows intent. A PPP Pod is tangible, ongoing, demonstrable action against the exact indicators you are now measured on.

Direct action on the parents and carers indicator
Visible evidence of flexible, supportive practice
A story worth telling in your Employer Statement
Progress you can point to, not just promise

PPP supports your gender equality goals through concrete action. Reporting and target-setting obligations remain the responsibility of each employer. Target-setting requirements apply most directly to organisations with 500 or more employees. PPP can help you understand where a Pod fits within your broader strategy.
