Equal Pay Amendment Bill

Government Bill
Published date: 09 May 2025

Bills are proposals to make a new law or to change an existing one. Only Parliament can pass a bill. Each bill goes through several stages, giving MPs and the public the chance to have their say.

This bill would adjust the process for raising and resolving a pay equity claim and amend the regulatory framework for parties to a pay equity claim to assess whether there is sex-based undervaluation.
