Australian Women Outpace Men on Promotions, but Exit Management Faster

Full-time Australian women earned promotions at higher rates than men in 2024-25, a study of 5.4 million workers by WGEA, the workplace equality agency, and Curtin University found. But women managers quit at 13.8%, compared with 12% for men. WGEA chief Christine Castley linked the exits to unequal caregiving and too few flexible senior jobs.
