AWLA has filed submissions to the People’s Select Committee on Pay Equity in response to the Government’s rushed and retrospective amendments to the Equal Pay Act via the Equal Pay Amendment Bill.
The People’s Select Committee has been established by a group of 10 former women MPs from across the political spectrum to hear submissions from individuals and groups who were not able to be heard on the Equal Pay Amendment Bill 2025 as the Bill was passed under urgency. This will enable adequate scrutiny of the regulatory, economic and social impacts of the Bill through consideration of evidence provided by those directly affected and the public.
The Committee will deliver a report at the end of this process that will provide a summary of the key themes and conclusions of the submissions. This report will be provided to Parliament and available to the public by the end of the year.
A copy of our submissions can be found below. AWLA will also be delivering oral submissions to the People’s Select Committee at a date to be confirmed.
