equidi Partners with the Fair Pay Innovation Lab to Bring World-Leading Fair Pay Certification to Australia
Melbourne, Australia - 19 May 2025 – equidi, Australia’s leading pay equity platform, has partnered with the Fair Pay Innovation Lab (FPI) to bring the UNIVERSAL FAIR PAY CHECK® - the world’s leading certification for fair pay - to Australian employers.
The UNIVERSAL FAIR PAY CHECK® is a globally trusted standard that assesses not just pay outcomes, but the underlying systems, policies, and practices that drive them. It enables organisations of all sizes and industries to demonstrate a credible, data-backed commitment to equitable pay.
As a certification partner, equidi will guide employers through the certification journey, including a rigorous analysis of their adjusted gender pay gap. With deep statistical analytics, it provides a clearer picture of whether disparities exist that can’t be explained by legitimate pay variables, and where systemic issues may lie.
This partnership is a big step forward for pay equity in Australia,” said Natalie Flynn, Founder and CEO of Equidi. “The adjusted pay gap helps organisations see beneath the surface. By including this level of analysis in the certification, we’re giving employers the insight - and the accountability - needed to make lasting change.
With public pay gap reporting now mandated by the Workplace Gender Equality Agency in Australia and stakeholder expectations rising, Fair Pay Certification provides a credible and independent signal of progress. It’s more than a label - it’s a roadmap to building fairer, more transparent systems.
We’re thrilled to welcome equidi as a certification partner in Australia,” said Henrike von Platen, Founder of FPI. “Their deep data expertise and commitment to systemic fairness make them a natural fit to bring the UNIVERSAL FAIR PAY CHECK® to life locally.”
