CIPW research launch - Towards Indigenous Pay Parity: Understanding and creating Indigenous pay parity in Australian workplaces

The Centre for Indigenous People and Work (CIPW) and Indigenous Business Australia (IBA) invite you to attend our coming research launch - Towards Indigenous Pay Parity: Understanding and creating Indigenous pay parity in Australian workplaces. This landmark Indigenous‑led research quantifies the pay gap for Indigenous people, establishing a crucial data baseline to inform national wage and employment reform. By exploring systemic drivers of pay inequity we aim to spark an informed discussion that will shape pathways toward long‑term, meaningful change. Joshua Gilbert (he/him), Assistant Director, CIPW, Professor Jane O'Leary (she/her), Research Director, CIPW, along with Dr Siddharth Shirodkar (he/him), Chief Economist, IBA, will introduce the research and key findings focusing on 10 key truths and recommendations for policy and practice. This will be followed by a panel discussion, facilitated by Professor Nareen Young (she/her), Associate Dean (Indigenous Leadership & Engagement) UTS Business School, Professor Indigenous Policy, Jumbunna Institute and Director CIPW, and will feature: • Tanya Hosch AM (she/her), Chair, CIPW Advisory Council, • Jade Cordell (she/her), Chief People Officer, IBA, • Michelle Lim (she/her), Contributor, Ladies Talk Money. Join us for networking from 12pm to 1pm for the opportunity to connect with fellow professionals and peers to continue the conversation, explore potential collaborations, and engage with others who share an interest in advancing knowledge and practice in this area. This event is designed for anyone interested in advancing culturally safe, inclusive, and equitable workplaces for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander employees. Attendees will gain insights into the drivers of Indigenous pay inequity and hear practical perspectives on actions that organisations can take to support greater workplace equity and economic inclusion. Please notify us of your accessibility requirements by Monday 14th September
