We submitted in support of the changes to the Employment Relations (Employee Remuneration Disclosure) Amendment Bill that will eliminate the kind of secrecy that allows pay gaps to persist.

We celebrate these proposed changes that can enable:

• Greater transparency for employees to talk about their pay rate without facing repercussions

• Pay discrimination to be more easily identified and remedied - closing pay gaps can reduce rates of food insecurity

• Employees empowered to share their information and challenge unjust discrimination creates a more fair and equitable society
