Employers are being warned that ignoring gender pay gaps within their organisations will be at their peril as remuneration data from thousands of companies is made public for the first time. The data, published by the Workplace Gender Equality Agency , has been broken down by industry into base salaries and total pay including superannuation, overtime and bonuses.
chief executive Mary Wooldridge said the data release, made possible by a legislative reform passed in 2023, was a significant step forward in understanding gender equality in Australian workplaces. “Transparency and accountability are actually beneficial to employees, to the community and to the nation as a whole because gender equality is beneficial on all of those levels,” she said.
