The best-paid workers at some of Australia’s top companies are still overwhelmingly men earning million-dollar salaries as industries such as finance and construction struggle to close the gender pay gap.
Using the latest salary data from the Workplace Gender Equality Agency, The Australian Financial Review has identified 24 companies at which the top 25 per cent earners were paid more than $1 million a year in 2023-24, including Goodman Group, IFM Investors, Morgan Stanley and UBS.
This story was updated on March 5, 2025. An earlier version had incorrectly stated that CEO pay was only included in calculations for the median gender pay gaps. In fact, it was included in calculations for both the average gender pay gaps and the median gender pay gaps.
