Registration

Eligible employers must register with WGEA via the WGEA Employer Portal. Once an employer has registered to report for the first time, they do not need to register again.  

How do I register?

1. Visit the Employer Portal and select ‘Register’.
2. Select either ‘register as a standalone’ or ‘register as a corporate group’ depending on the structure of your organisation(s).
3. Complete the registration form.
4. Review the information provided and submit your registration form.

To register, an employer will need to provide the following information for each employing organisation:

1. Australian Business Number (ABN)
2. Name and contact details of the primary reporting contact for your organisation
3. Name and contact details of the CEO (or equivalent)
4. Postal and physical address
5. Employee count
6. Not for profit status

Corporate groups must also provide:

1. Details of the ultimate parent (whether domestic or global, employing, or non-employing).
2. The above list of details for each employing entity in the corporate structure.

The WGEA Employer Portal has direct integration with the Australian Business Register (ABR), which means that an organisation's legal name and address will be pulled directly from ABR records. Some fields are then auto populated into the registration form.

• If changes are required, such as to the address or industry information, please raise a support request from within the portal.
• ABN and legal name details are unable to be edited. If changes occur to this information, please lodge a support request to change company structure or legal information.

After the application to register has been submitted, a WGEA staff member will review and process the registration request.

• If we require further information to assess eligibility, we will contact you via the email addresses listed on the registration form.
• Based on the information provided, an employer may be enrolled in a relevant reporting program.
• We will them send you an email and official letter advising of the outcome of a registration request.
• Once successfully registered, the primary reporting contact listed will receive notifications and updates about Gender Equality Reporting.

You must register your organisation prior to the commencement of the reporting period to lodge a report for that period.

Example

If lodging your report in the period 1 April 2025 to 31 May 2025, you must register by COB 31 March 2025.

• If you register your organisation after 31 March, you will be required to lodge your first report in the next reporting period (1 April 2026 to 31 May 2026).
