Gender Equality at Mastercard Australia

At Mastercard, we cultivate an environment that respects individual strengths, views, and experiences. It's all about being your authentic self!

Mastercard performs an annual exercise to ensure that all employees performing the same role with the same performance outcomes are earning the same amount of money. This process is globally driven to ensure that irrespective of gender, employees are recognised and rewarded the same.

Women at Mastercard earn $1 to every $1 men earn.

Advancing Gender Equity

Mastercard® Girls4Tech™ program is inspiring girls to build technology skills

With our employees serving as role models and mentors, we developed a signature STEM curriculum based on global science and math standards that showcases our payments technology — algorithms, encryption, fraud detection, data analysis, digital convergence and the power of our network. This interactive, hands-on curriculum connects the foundations of our business to STEM principles and shows girls across the globe that it takes all kinds of interests and skills to pursue a career in STEM.

We’re reached more than 3 million girls between the ages 8‐16, hosted events in 50+ countries and translated the program into 20 languages.
