August 19 is the national Equal Pay Day for 2025. The date marks the 50 additional days from the end of the financial year that women in Australia need to work, on average, to earn the same annual wage as men.  Leading the fight for gender equity in architecture is Parlour, a research-based advocacy group whose work outlines what built-environment professions can – and should – do to help eradicate gender pay gaps.  In today’s episode, Parlour co-founder and director Justine Clark shares Parlour’s findings from the Workplace Gender Equality Agency’s 2025 pay gap data, and how this information can help architects identify pay inequity in their workplace – and what steps they can take to address it.
