At the election, the Albanese Labor Government promised to lead the way in closing the gender pay gap in Australia, and to place gender equality at the core of our work. Since day one we’ve been doing just that.
Last year, we passed legislation that would increase transparency and reporting of gender pay gaps.
Early this week that data was released, a historic step towards transparency and accountability in addressing gender inequality.
Labor’s efforts are already delivering outcomes for women, with data from last week showing the gender pay gap is now at a record low of 12%.
