The national gender pay gap has narrowed slightly to 13.4% for full-time employees, a decline of 0.6 percentage points over the past six months, the federal Workplace Gender Equality Agency announced on Thursday.

The figure has been calculated from the latest average weekly earnings data released by the Australian Bureau of Statistics. The gender pay gap equates to a $242.20-a-week difference on average between the amount women and men make.
