Submission
Your gender equality action plan is due to the Commissioner by 1 May 2026, unless you have an approved extension.
It is highly recommended that you submit using the GEAP template 2026 via the reporting platform(opens in a new window)*. Note that supporting documents will not be accepted.
If you choose not to use the GEAP template 2026 (not recommended), ensure you have included all the required components in your GEAP and have a table of contents that shows the Commissioner and her team exactly where to find them.
Request an extension
If you experience unforeseen circumstances that will impact whether you can complete your GEAP on time, you can request an extension to submit your GEAP. Should you need this, send a request to the Commissioner as soon as possible before the submission date. For further information on extension requests, visit Commissioner's extension request page(opens in a new window).
Note that any extension will not change your future obligation deadlines under the Gender Equality Act 2020(opens in a new window).
Reporting platform
Your reporting process owner and platform users have access to the reporting platform.
To request access for new reporting platform users, fill this Nomination of Gender Equality Act(opens in a new window) reporting platform users(opens in a new window) form. Note that only reporting process owners or your head of organisation can complete this form.
If you have questions about how to use this form, please contact the Commissioner’s team via enquiries@genderequalitycommission.vic.gov.au
