Gender Equality at Livit Disability Support

We believe everyone should be paid fairly and have equal opportunities to grow. Gender should never be a barrier to fair pay, flexibility, or career progression.

Our commitment is simple: create a workplace that is fair, flexible, and supportive for everyone.

Our People, Our Strength

Our team includes around 450 people, with about 75% being women. This balance is steady across all roles and pay levels and is similar to other organisations in our sector.

Most of our team members are Support Workers, and the mix of men and women is driven by client choice.

About a third of our team works casually, which is common in the disability sector. Many Support Workers also have more than one job, with a high demand for skilled workers at the moment.

Fair Pay

At Livit Disability Support, we’re committed to fair pay for every role. Around 98% of our team members are paid according to the SCHADS Industry Award, and the rest are paid market-aligned rates for their role.

When we looked at our 2023-24 pay, we found almost no difference between men and women. In fact, the middle point of pay (called the median) was slightly higher for women: -0.7% for base salary and -0.4% for total remuneration. The average gender pay gap was also very close: -0.1% for base salary and 1.7% for total remuneration.

Even with Chief Executive’s salary now included in the numbers for the first time, there was still no real difference. This shows that everyone at the organisation is paid fairly, no matter their gender.

Why show both median and average?
They tell different stories. The average can be skewed by very high or low salaries, while the median shows a true middle point. Together, they show a clearer picture of pay equity.

Why it Matters

Fair pay and equality aren’t just about numbers. They show how much we value everyone’s contribution.

From our leaders to our support staff, we want every team member to feel respected, supported, and recognised.

Creating a workplace where people can grow, succeed, and do their best work is at the heart of what we do.
