520 _aAn examination of gender norms allows us to develop gender equity strategies. There is limited research on gender roles among the Indian migrant community in Australia. Therefore, the objectives of this study were to explore the gender norms among men and women in the Indian community in Australia across their family, employment, and community roles. Focus group sessions were conducted with 40 first and second-generation Indian men and women divided into younger (18–40 years) and older age groups (41+ years). Thematic analysis revealed differences in gender norms between men and women. Women described the need to perform multiple roles; provide men with financial control; and ensure family harmony. On the other hand, men attributed a family-oriented role for women; mainly contributed to the family’s financial wellbeing; and expressed distress at the Australian legal system that they believed favoured women. The findings from the present study suggest the need for the promotion of culturally relevant gender equity strategies for members of the Indian community. (Author's abstract). Record #7436
