Second round of architecture firms' gender pay gap data released

Australia's Workplace Gender Equity Agency (WGEA) has released its gender pay gap data for 2023-2024, revealing the gender pay gap information of architecture and landscape architecture firms.

The first instalment of data was released in February 2024, after reforms that advocated for greater transparency on the gender pay gap were enacted by parliament in 2023. The passing of this reform means that businesses with more than 100 staff are required to submit their gender employment data to the WGEA. The first set of data revealed the gender pay gap for more than 5,000 private employers during 2022-23, while the data for 2023-24 instead encompasses 7,800 individual employers and 1,700 corporate groups.
