Blak women make up a growing part of the Australian workforce, with 57% of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women aged 15 to 64 employed in 2022-23 (the latest figures we have). That’s a significant gain from 45% just four years earlier.
However, it’s still well below the Closing the Gap target of 62% employment. It’s also far short of the comparable non-Indigenous employment rate (79%).
