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.
While people of non-European or Indigenous background make up about 24 per cent of the Australian population, they account for just 5 per cent of the senior-leadership positions.
