The gender pay gap slightly narrowed in 2024-25, but men still earn significantly more, especially in high-paying industries and through bonuses.
The gender pay gap has slightly narrowed in 2024-25, with 22.5% of employers reporting a gap of 5% or less, up from the previous year, according to the Workplace Gender Equality Agency.
Men remain nearly twice as likely to be in the highest earning quartile, especially in high-paying sectors like construction, where women are underrepresented in top roles.
Women are more concentrated in lower-paid positions, and additional pay such as bonuses and superannuation widens the gap, with men receiving nearly 30% more in these areas at half of employers.
Public sector gaps are generally smaller due to merit-based systems and equity efforts, but only a quarter of employers conducted a full pay gap analysis.
Agency leaders stress that temporary disparities may occur during long-term equity efforts, urging better data, targeted actions, and accountability.
