WEL and the National Pay Equity Coalition made a joint submission to the review. Click here for the full submission. The key points are as follows:
We have made significant progress in women’s employment since the introduction of the Affirmative Action Act and the Affirmative Action Agency (the Agency).
Progress has varied over time and stalled in some areas. Some changes reflect women’s improved levels of education and workforce experience. Others reflect changes in the regulatory environment – discrimination law, employment relations law, parental leave provisions, flexible work arrangements and so on.
