Australia's gender pay gap reaches an all-time low of 11.5%, attributed to targeted actions.

Australia's gender pay gap has reached an all-time low of 11.5%, down from 13% last year and 19% a decade ago. This progress is attributed to targeted actions such as increased transparency of wage information, prioritising gender equity in wage decisions, and addressing low pay in female-dominated sectors. However, the gender pay gap varies across industries, with some sectors showing significant improvement but others, like healthcare and finance, still facing high disparities. Despite the recent decrease, the Australian government emphasizes the need for continued progress to achieve gender pay equality across all industries.
