Gender equality

Prof Dominique Allen, 2025

Professor Dominique Allen published a series of journal articles about the changes to labour laws that reflect a strategic shift toward proactive gender equality for women in Australia.

Her work considers strengthened provisions to address sexual harassment, including the Fair Work Commission’s new power to issue stop orders, the introduction of a positive duty on employers to prevent discrimination, reforms targeting workplace flexibility and the gender pay gap, and the reasons why so few women bring sex discrimination complaints.
