Large employers will soon be required to select and make progress on gender equality targets after the federal parliament passed new changes. 

The majority of them will have a gender pay gap in favour of men.

For the second year, the Workplace Gender Equality Agency has released the gender pay gaps of private sector employers in Australia.

An LNP MP has warned against “comparing women working in childcare” with “men working in construction”. But what if we did?

The gender pay gap starts at 20 and continues to expand to a point where women earn 32.6% less than men in the 55—to 59 age cohort.

New research has uncovered the positive impact of increasing wages in low paid industry on Australia’s gender pay gap.

More than one in four Australian workplaces are not adequately monitoring the prevalence of workplace sexual harassment.

As CEO of WGEA, Mary Wooldridge is at the forefront of change, working to make sure people’s understanding of the gender pay gap is clear. 

Mary Wooldridge said organisations must “reimagine” what senior leaders look like, if we are to make progress on closing the gender pay gap.

Some companies have proactively responded to their gender pay gap exposure from last week, including Qantas.

WGEA has released the median gender pay gaps of more than 5000 firms, highlighting some grim realities in gender equality across industries in Australia.

The median gender pay gaps of more than 5000 firms will be made public tomorrow, 11 days out from International Women’s Day.
