This Pay Equity claim is in the: Assessment Phase

Latest Update

March 2023

We’re pleased to let you know that assessment has now concluded! That means that not only do we have the information we need about your work - we’ve also finished assessing our comparator roles from male dominated professions too!

This gives us heaps of data that we can now start analysing to see if there is sex-based undervaluation and what the extent of undervaluation could be. Once we understand that, we will have an idea of what kind of pay corrections we may need to achieve Pay Equity.

Sounds good! What’s next?

Well, we’ll be spending a bit of time analysing that data, which allows us to identify and map any areas of sex-based undervaluation.

While we’re doing that, we want to make sure that we are taking every opportunity to refine our understanding of your work so the final outcomes can be as accurate as possible. As part of this we will be running a focus group with worker representatives over the next couple of months.

Finally, we are also beginning pre-bargaining conversations as we look to enter formal negotiations to settle the Pay Equity claim, and to establish an ongoing maintenance process to ensure undervalued roles don’t fall behind again. Exciting!
