Australia's gender pay gap has had its biggest single-year drop in almost a decade, but women are still earning much less than their male colleagues.

Businesses well advanced in their equity journey were seven times more likely to set targets to reduce gender pay gaps than firms just starting.

Australia has reached a landmark moment in the battle to close the gender pay gap by passing the  Workplace Gender Equality Amendment (Closing the Gender Pay Gap) Bill in Senate.

A slight improvement in the national gender pay gap to 13.3% has been reported, bringing the current status quo to Australian women pocketing, on average, 87 cents for their work to every dollar earned by a man.

The new data, released on Thursday afternoon by the Workplace Gender Equality Agency, shows that on average, there is a difference of $255 per week in the full-time earnings of men and women in Australia.
