Australian employers are making progress on closing the gender pay gap, but there’s still a lot of work ahead. The Workplace Gender Equality Agency's new report shows half of employers are now recording a pay gap below 11.2 per cent. More organisations are within the target range but half still sit above it, and men remain almost twice as likely to occupy the highest paid roles.

Mary Wooldridge, CEO of the Workplace Gender Equality Agency, joins Sean Aylmer to discuss what’s driving the improvement, and why narrowing the gap requires long-term cultural change, not just policy reform.
