"Since 2024, the Workplace Gender Equality Agency (WGEA) has been publishing
the gender pay gaps of Australia’s largest companies. Now, we have enough data
to make some meaningful comparisons – and this public spotlight seems to be
paying off.
Today, the agency released its latest employer gender pay gaps report. Drawing
on this data, my calculations show the average gender gap in total pay fell
from 13.1% to 12.7% between 2023-24 and 2024-25.
That’s based on more than 7,000 organisations that provided their numbers for
both years.
While the gender pay gap narrowed in more than half of these employers, driving
the overall improvement, it still widened in about 45%.
There are signs that companies are, on the whole, heading in the right
direction. But gender pay gaps still overwhelmingly favour men. There’s still
work to do – especially at Australia’s major banks and airlines."
