Cotality Australia has officially been recognised as one of Australia’s Best Workplaces™ for Women in 2026 by Great Place To Work®. This prestigious accolade affirms the data-driven property technology company’s dedication to fostering a people-centric culture where women are empowered to thrive, lead, and shape the future of the real estate ecosystem.
The rigorous evaluation process relied heavily on confidential employee feedback gathered through the Trust Index™ survey, alongside a comprehensive organisational culture analysis and vital insights from the Workplace Gender Equality Agency (WGEA). This ensures that the companies honoured are genuinely making sustained progress in gender equity across all corporate levels.
In a corporate landscape where women across Australia still confront substantial workplace challenges—such as underrepresentation in executive roles, persistent gender pay gaps, and limited access to equitable career progression—this recognition serves as a critical benchmark. It highlights forward-thinking organisations that are serious about turning inclusive culture into a tangible competitive advantage.
Cotality’s inclusion on the 2026 list underscores a deliberate, long-term strategy to dismantle these systemic barriers. The company has proven that concepts like psychological safety, flexible work arrangements, and structured career development are not mere corporate buzzwords, but embedded strategic imperatives. By prioritising psychological safety, Cotality ensures its female workforce feels confident to contribute their expertise, challenge the status quo, and directly influence business strategy.
A standout feature of Cotality’s commitment is its tangible support for working parents. The company offers 16 weeks of paid parental leave, uniquely complemented by US$500 in ‘Baby Bucks’. This initiative is specifically designed to provide the financial and personal peace of mind required to balance a growing family alongside long-term career advancement. Furthermore, Cotality champions female leadership through its InspiHer Women’s Business Council, an Employee Resource Group dedicated to empowering women via visibility, mentorship, and connection.
Lisa Claes, President of Cotality Australia, emphasised the significance of the award. “Being recognised as one of Australia’s Best Workplaces for Women is a powerful reflection of the culture our people are building together,” she said. “We know that when women thrive, teams thrive — and organisations perform at their best. This recognition reinforces our commitment to creating an environment where every woman at Cotality can grow, lead and make an impact”.
As a technology firm dedicated to making the property industry faster and smarter, Cotality views gender equity as foundational to its core mission. Diverse teams are credited with fueling innovation, improving decision-making, and strengthening outcomes for both customers and communities. Kendra Angier, Cotality’s Chief Human Resources Officer, echoed this sentiment, noting that the company is incredibly proud of the women whose leadership drives its ongoing success.
“Their expertise shapes our products and culture alike,” Angier stated. “We remain dedicated to fostering an environment that is not just equitable, but truly empowering for all”.
