An Australian Human Rights Commission report has found people of Anglo-Celtic or European background hold 95 per cent of the country's chief-executive and senior-management jobs.
The Australian Human Rights Commission report is a review of 2016's Leading for Change initiative aimed at boosting cultural diversity in high-ranking leadership positions.
The report finds Anglo-Celtic Australians and those of European background continue to fill the ranks of Australian chief executives at a rate as high as 97 per cent.
It finds cultural diversity improves only slightly at the senior-management level, with 95 per cent of more than 2,400 senior leaders having an Anglo-Celtic or European background.
The finding has triggered renewed calls for greater diversity in senior roles.
