WGEA Gender Equality Reporting

MASTER BUILDERS ASSOCIATION NSW – GPG STATEMENT 2022 - 2023 


Based on the Master Builders Association (MBA) WGEA Reporting Executive Summary and WGEA Reporting Industry Benchmark Report, the average positive outcome shows that females are paid slightly more than their male counterparts during the reporting period, 2022-2023.

The Association’s composition also shows that a disproportionate number of males make up the majority of employees. The large number of male employees stems from the Association’s Group Training Organisation (GTO).

The GTO is a major leader and employer of apprentices in the building and construction industry. The building and construction industry is known as being a heavily male dominated industry and this is reflected in the large number of males in trade apprenticeships.

Master Builders continues to play a vital role in attracting and engaging females in the Building and Construction industry. Currently the MBA employs some 10% females in trade apprenticeships. The uptake in the industry as a whole is approximately around 2%, in the trade classifications.

The GTO is making its mark on the industry and supporting females in a trade apprenticeship.
