Western Australia's unenviable position as national leader in gender pay gap cannot be explained by the prominence of male-dominated industries, according to new national research.
Alcoa of Australia, Bankwest, Curtin University and Shell Australia have been recognised as the best businesses in Western Australia for implementing gender equality measures.
Bankwest today launched its new charity, which will raise funds for community initiatives, as well as a scholarship program that aims to better the lives of Western Australians, and has pledged $1 million per year to the charity for five years.
