On 26 November 2020, the Workplace Gender Equality Agency (WGEA/the Agency) presented the latest insights and trends from our world-leading dataset on the status of gender equality in Australian workplaces. 2020 marked an historic change in the landscape of the Australian workplace as a result of the global COVID19 pandemic. This dataset, the seventh reported under the Workplace Gender Equality Act 2012, will act as a benchmark for future years on the effects of the pandemic on gender equality in Australia.
