In 1998 the International Labour Organization (ILO) advanced the notion of 'decent work' as a way to enhance opportunities for women and men to obtain productive work in conditions of freedom, equality, security and human dignity. This concept is now both salient and contested in national and international policy debates. In a 2008-09 campaign, the ILO asserted that 'gender equality [is] at the heart of decent work'. This article examines appeals to decent work in Australian parliamentary discourse and proposes how best to make use of the concept. It argues that gender equality is fundamental to decent work
