Gender Equality at KJR

Gender Workplace Equality

KJR is covered by the Workplace Gender Equality Agency (WGEA) and acknowledges best practices set forth by the agency for improving equality and equity in the workplace. At KJR we have a strong gender distribution, higher than the industry standard for tech (30%) and are continually dedicated to closing the gap in gender inequity and inequality. 

Young Women Leaders in AI 

KJR collaborated with IntelliHQ to offer and run the Young Women Leaders in AI (YWLAI) initiative. The YWLAI initiative is a program specifically designed to promote the representation of women in AI. 

Funded by the Australian Federal Government’s Women in STEM and Entrepreneurship (WISE) program, it is built around an annual leadership camp and provides successful applicants (up to 75 in year one) with ongoing mentorship, local events and a pool of scholarship opportunities to support career advancement. The initiative includes an online education campaign highlighting issues in AI gender bias and featuring some of the brightest minds working in cutting-edge organisations in the field of AI.

KJR continues to support IntelliHQ on their diversity in AI programs and AI in Healthcare training program.
