If you are a Commonwealth Public Sector employer, refer to our Public Sector Reporting Guide.   

Registered relevant employers are enrolled in a Gender Equality Reporting program and must lodge data about their organisation to WGEA annually. Reports are prepared and lodged within the WGEA Employer Portal during the two-month lodgement period (1 April to 31 May). 
 

The Gender Equality Report consist of:

1. Questionnaire - an online survey about your organisation’s policies, strategies, and actions on gender equality.
2. Workplace Profile (WPP) - an Excel worksheet designed to collect information about workforce composition, base salaries, and total remuneration.
3. Workforce Management Statistics (WMS) - an Excel worksheet designed to collect data on employee movements during the 12-month reporting period (1 April – 31 March).

Private sector employers include privately owned and publicly listed organisations, such as:

• registered higher education providers
• a natural person, or a body or association (whether incorporated or not)
• sole traders
• partnerships
• proprietary limited (Pty Ltd) companies
• trusts
• publicly owned or listed companies
• not for profits

Organisations that meet the definition of relevant employer must lodge an annual Gender Equality Report to WGEA. If your organisation meets the eligibility requirement and has not previously reported to WGEA, you must register to report.
