Finding your baseline data for targets

A guide to show you how and where to find your baseline data for targets.

Find your baseline data for targets

If your organisation directly employs 500 or more people, you’ll need to select 3 gender equality targets starting in 2026. 

The information your organisation reported to WGEA for your baseline year will help you to select your targets and track your progress. WGEA will also use the baseline year information to assess whether you have met your targets or demonstrated improvement against them. 

This guide helps you:

  • Find your baseline data in WGEA reports
  • Understand which targets you can choose
  • Understand the eligibility criteria for each target

📅 Key Dates

  • Private sector baseline: 2024–25 reporting period
  • Public sector baseline: 2024 reporting period
  • New DREs use the year they become a DRE as their baseline
