Monday, 19 August, is Equal Pay Day, marking the 50 extra days Australian women must work to earn the same as men did last year. This year's theme, "It Doesn't Add Up," highlights the persistent national gender pay gap, driven by gender discrimination, family responsibilities, and job segregation. At Dress for Success NSW & ACT, we’re dedicated to supporting women as they enter or reenter the workforce—and thrive in their careers. We're committed to bridging the gap by challenging unconscious bias, fostering fairness, and ensuring equality for women jobseekers. Our mission is to instill confidence, build resilience, and empower women to take control of their futures. We urge all employers to actively address the gender pay gap as a crucial step toward true gender equality. Let’s strive for change!
