Appendix B: Guidance for new or changed entities

This section provides progress reporting advice for new defined entities and defined entities that have experienced a significant structural change.

New entities

My organisation has become a new entity recently, and has not submitted a GEAP. Are we required to submit a progress report?

If your new organisation has not previously submitted a GEAP, you are not required to submit a progress report. Your next obligation will be to submit a GEAP in 2025.

Significant structural change

My organisation has experienced a significant structural change. How do we report on progress?

Your organisation may have experienced a significant change, such as:

  • merging with another organisation
  • splitting into multiple new organisations
  • changing its name.

In some cases, your organisation, or part of your organisation, may have completed a GEAP prior to this change.

After notifying the Commission of your significant organisational change, your organisation would have received a letter from the Commissioner informing you about whether you are required to submit a progress report.

If you are unsure whether your new organisation is required to submit a progress report, please contact the Commission at enquiries@genderequalitycommisison.vic.gov.au.

The Commission acknowledges that structural changes in your organisation may impact the way in which you report on progress. If you are unsure how to complete your progress report considering these changes, please contact the Commission at enquiries@genderequalitycommisison.vic.gov.au.
