Equal Remuneration Convention, 1951 (No. 100) - Australia (RATIFICATION: 1974)

The Committee notes from the information supplied by the Government in reply to its previous observation that the New South Wales Arbitration Act has not been amended to remove the provisions for setting the male and female basic wages, although a Bill providing a non-discriminatory basic wage is now before Parliament. It hopes that the above-mentioned Act will be amended in order to give full effect to the Convention and that a copy of the amendment will be supplied with the next report.
