Maintaining your organisation's details

Are your organisation contacts missing important emails for us?

We recommend you request your I.T department adds all email domains ending in .gov.au to their safe sender list.

 

As part of the steps preparing to lodge a Gender Equality Report, employers must ensure all organisation and contact details are up to date.

So that:

  • we can communicate with your organisation throughout the reporting process
  • you can lodge a Gender Equality Report that reflects your organisation.​​​​

Contact and role changes

Employers are responsible for keeping contact details up to date.

We recommended:

  • Having more than one reporting contact with a different email to avoid disruptions (e.g. if staff leave your organisation or are absent).
  • Ensuring the CEO or equivalent contact details are accurate to facilitate important compliance communication.

Contact Roles

The role assigned to a contact determines what communication they receive from us during the reporting process.

Role

Communication

Reporting contact / Primary reporting contact

This contact will receive both general and important reporting communication
CEO

This contact will receive limited but very important compliance communication. WGEA requires the CEO or head of business to be an active contact and have this role assigned. 
No role

This contact will receive no communication from WGEA

 

We recommend adding an additional contact that has a shared mailbox and is accessible by a team, so important communication is not missed.

For example, you may wish to set up:

Contact name: Human Resources / Pay roll
Contact email: hr or payroll@example.com.au
Contact role: reporting contact
