This year, [Un] Equal Pay Day will be on 28 August 2019, marking the 59 additional days from the end of the previous financial year that women must work, on average, to earn the same amount as men earned that year.

Each year we calculate the national gender pay gap using the latest Average Weekly Earnings trend series data released by the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS), marking the additional days from the end of the previous financial year that women must work, on average, to earn the same amount as men earned that year.
