WGEA CEO Mary Wooldridge is hard at work making sure that people’s understanding of what contributes to the gender pay gap in this country is crystal clear.

Despite significant advancements in female participation in the workforce, the gender pay gap remains a stubborn barrier to true workplace equality in Australia.

This is the first time that the WGEA, which annually reports gender pay gaps by industry, has released the names of actual companies and the differences in what they pay male and female employees.

Australia's gender pay gap has had its biggest single-year drop in almost a decade, but women are still earning much less than their male colleagues.

Businesses well advanced in their equity journey were seven times more likely to set targets to reduce gender pay gaps than firms just starting.

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.

A slight improvement in the national gender pay gap to 13.3% has been reported, bringing the current status quo to Australian women pocketing, on average, 87 cents for their work to every dollar earned by a man.

The Workplace Gender Equality Amendment (Closing the Gender Pay Gap) Bill came before the lower house yesterday.
