Working together to promote diversity and inclusion
Our differences make us stronger
At Investa, everyone has an equal voice and is encouraged to use it. We listen to all opinions with an open mind and aim to ensure all our employees feel heard and supported. The different experiences and perspectives we all bring to work help us make better strategic decisions – because they help us understand the diverse needs of our investors and customers.
We celebrate our different backgrounds, interests, responsibilities and working styles in a range of meaningful ways. Creating an inclusive culture doesn’t happen by chance: we proactively ensure everyone is supported and given the opportunities and environment they need to flourish.
Flexibility underpins our inclusive culture
We want everyone to thrive at work – and that means working the way that fits in with your needs and your family. That’s why we offer a range of flexible working options and a generous parental leave policy to actively support parents and carers.
All Investa employees are eligible to request flexible working arrangements, including:
- Flexible start and finish times
- Compressed working weeks
- Time off in lieu
- Summer hours.
Our parental leave policy is available to all employees, regardless of gender identity or sexual orientation, and includes:
- 16 weeks paid leave
- Super paid while on unpaid parental leave
- Foster parent and grandparent leave
- Childcare assistance as part of return to work benefits.
Our award-winning culture is recognised by the WGEA and WEIA for our diversity and inclusion initiatives, including support for LGBTQ employees and our influence driving gender equality across the broader industry.

Award winners in LGBTQ inclusion
Investa and the Australian Workplace Equality Index
In 2024, we were awarded Silver (Small Employer) certification for the Australian LGBTQ Inclusion Awards AWEI, in recognition of our ongoing commitment to LGBTQ inclusion at work.
The Australian Workplace Equality Index (AWEI) is Australia’s national benchmarking instrument for LGBTQ inclusion within workplaces. Recognition is based on rigorous assessment, which requires employers to answer a series of very specific questions relating to areas that directly impact inclusion – and submit supporting evidence.
In 2021 we received our first certification for being a Family Inclusive Workplace from Family Friendly Workplaces. In 2023 we received our second certification recognising our continuing efforts to provide a supportive and inclusive environment where our people can thrive in both their personal and working lives.
Investa and Grey Matters
Australian advocacy group, Grey Matters®, has recognised our commitment to fostering an inclusive workplace that embraces and leverages the contributions of people of all ages. We proudly display the Grey Matters icon, signalling to our employees that they are supported and can thrive at every stage of their professional and personal live.
