Variety is the Spice of Life
The complexity and variability of our business requires a talented team with a wide range of specialist skills.

Our Research and Development team works tirelessly to innovate and improve in areas such as tree growth, product quality, business efficiencies and environmental management.

Commitment to workplace gender equality
Quintis supports workplace gender equality and is committed to the regular analysis, monitoring and improvements in gender pay equity, and policies that support diversity, inclusion, and workplace flexibility.
Our remuneration philosophy is to reward and remunerate in line with local market conditions which are sufficiently competitive to attract, motivate and retain the best people. Actual remuneration for an individual takes into account the location and nature of the work, and the individual’s experience, skills and time/performance in the role. However, we do not discriminate based on gender.
The gender pay gap data for Quintis, published by the Workplace Gender Equality Agency, shows the difference between the average or median pay of all women in the organisation compared with all men. It is not a measure of pay equality for like for like roles within our organisation.
The reported gap of 20.9% (median total remuneration) is driven by 2 major factors:
- More men than women working in remote and regional locations in the north of Australia, where salaries are typically higher and come with accommodation assistance
- While our executive team is well balanced, we have more men than women in middle and senior management positions.
We are confident that, on comparison of similar roles in similar locations, remuneration at Quintis is fair and equitable. However, we are committed to reducing the gap and we will continue take action to achieve this, including:
- Seeking to recruit and promote internally by identifying and encouraging women working in our business to apply for roles that are traditionally held by men.
- Developing a set of workplace policies and benefits that support women, and men, to build more sustainable careers with Quintis, including career development through education and mentoring, increasing the level of flexibility within our workplaces, and focusing on wellbeing as a key employee value proposition.
- Highlighting and promoting the skills and careers of women working in our business to encourage more women to consider Quintis as an employer.
- Regularly reviewing data to understand the movement of our gender pay gap and sharing these findings with management and employees.
