The good news is that Australia’s total remuneration gender pay gap has dropped slightly, down 1.1 percentage points to a new low of 21.7%. But the real story could be in what’s to come over the next year.
Australia has reached a landmark moment in the battle to close the gender pay gap by passing the Workplace Gender Equality Amendment (Closing the Gender Pay Gap) Bill in Senate.
