Abstract
The focus of the analysis and discussion in this paper is concerned with equality of remuneration (or otherwise) between Australian working men and women. A review of the current Australian legislation relating to this issue indicates that there was both recognition of inequality between men and women as well as a range of initiatives, regulations and programs introduced over time by both federal and state governments to redress the situation. After analysing recent statistics published by the Australian Bureau of Statistics, as well as remuneration data disclosed in remuneration reports for Australian Securities Exchange listed corporations, it would appear that there is still some way to go before it can be claimed that there is an equality of remuneration between men and women working in Australia.
