Under the Workplace Gender Equality Act 2012 (the Act), private sector and Commonwealth public sector employers with 100 or more employees must lodge gender equality data each year during the lodgement period, from 1 April to 31 May, or within an approved extension period.
The reporting program closes on 31 July. Reports cannot be lodged or edited after 31 July.
Reporting overview
If your organisation meets the eligibility requirement and has not previously reported to WGEA, you must first register to report via the Employer Portal.
Employer obligations (compliance requirements) under the Act
Employers have important obligations under the Act to help ensure transparency and progress toward gender equality in Australian workplaces.
Stay informed
It is the employer’s responsibility to understand and meet all obligations under the Act. WGEA monitors compliance and may request additional information from time to time. For more information, visit Reporting compliance.
