The People’ Select Committee on Pay Equity was established on 26 May to take submissions on and examine the recent Equal Pay Amendment Act 2025 that was passed under urgency on 7 May 2025. The Committee is an extra-parliamentary committee made up of 10 former MPs from across the political spectrum in response to the absence of a select committee process on significant changes to the Equal Pay Act 1972, including the discontinuation of all existing pay equity claims.
