CEO sign-off

Before you can successfully lodge a Gender Equality Report (Report), reporting contacts must generate and download the two Public Reports for their CEO (or equivalent) to review and approve. This is known as CEO sign-off. 

Public Reports

The Public Reports consist of two PDFs and must be generated and downloaded via the Employer Portal. The Public Reports are available once the Questionnaire, Workplace Profile (WPP) and Workforce Management Statistics (WMS) sections of your Gender Equality Report are ‘completed’ without any unresolved data anomalies.

  • Your organisation’s CEO (or equivalent) must review the Public Reports to ensure the information you are intending to lodge is correct.

  • Once CEO approval is received, you must check the relevant declaration within Employer Portal to confirm that your CEO has reviewed and approved the data before you can lodge your Report.
