Abstract
Australian women have entered the workforce in greater numbers than ever before. Associated factors include an aging workforce and a shortage of skilled staff. Nonetheless, many working women continue to face a gender-pay gap, unpaid maternity leave and inequality in terms of career progression. The Sex Discrimination Act 1984 (Cth) was passed during 1984, just 22 years ago; its goal was to eliminate inequality for women at work in Australia.
