REPORTING UPDATE (Last Updated: 28/02/08)
As you would be aware, in response to Rethinking Regulation: Report of the Taskforce on Reducing Regulatory Burdens on Business, the Government has announced that reporting to the Equal Opportunity for Women in the Workplace Agency will become biennial for most employers in the future.

It is important to note that changes will not be implemented for the 2008 reporting period and under the existing legislation, your organisation, unless waived, will be required to report as in previous years, by the end of May.

Biennial reporting once it comes into effect, means that most employers covered by the EOWW Act will only be required to report every two years, after having been compliant with The Act for three consecutive years. This change recognises the time required to develop, implement and evaluate EO programs.

As yet no decision has been reached as to the timing of the changes. As soon as we have this information, the Agency will communicate with you about how the change may effect your reporting responsibility in future years.

“We cannot afford to train up good lawyers who build relationships with our clients – and see them walk out the door after a couple of years with no intention of returning. We have put in place initiatives to make our talent want to stay.”
