Equal Pay Matters

Equal pay for work of equal or comparable value is a basic human right. Regardless of where we work – or our sex, gender, race, age, abilities or care-giving status – we are all entitled to be paid and treated fairly at work.

The Pay Equality Toolkit is a suite of resources to support Victorian small-to-medium enterprises to achieve equal pay.

All employers are required by Victorian and national law not to discriminate against employees and job applicants, which includes paying workers equally for work of equal or comparable value.

Developed in consultation with the Equal Workplaces Advisory Council, industry experts and a variety of small businesses throughout Victoria, the toolkit is designed to assist SMEs to build an equal pay mindset with specific tools to address equal pay practices across all stages of the employment life cycle.

Access the Toolkit and learn more at the Victorian Equal Opportunity and Human Rights Commission website.
