Meet Gillian Lee, a Melbourne-based acoustic consultant, who has also worked at music venues and recording studios in Australia and the UK.



Acoustic consultants provide technical expertise for the design of performance spaces, buildings and environmental infrastructure, and as you might expect, most of them are blokes.



A week ago, Australia's Gender Equality Scorecard was released by the Workplace Gender Equality Agency, showing 43 per cent of graduates going into Professional, Scientific and Technical Services (which Gillian says her work falls under) are women, and only 11 per cent of apprentices are female.



It also shows 47.8 per cent of employees in the 'Music & Other Audio Recording' industries are women (a decline on the 2014 and 2015 scorecards), with a 23 per cent pay gap between male and female full time employees.



Gillian says her current employer, Marshall Day Acoustics, treats her no differently to her male colleagues, but she joined 666 Mornings to explain some of her other experiences as a woman working in the music industry and technical audio world.
