Under the Act progress reporting to the Commission is required. For the reporting period 1 July 2021 to 30 June 2023 VFA was required to:
- complete a progress audit to collect, compare, and submit information about workplace gender equality
- submit a progress report, drawing on audit data and other information, to demonstrate whether actions are achieving positive change towards workplace gender equality, and in our public programs, policies and services.
We are pleased to advise that on 1 October 2024, the Commissioner for Gender Equality in the Public Sector notified the VFA that it was compliant under the Equal Opportunity Act 2020 for both the Progress Audit and Progress Report.
It is a requirement under the Act to publish the Progress Report. The VFA has provided the report in two formats:
- A PDF Word document containing a foreword from the VFA Board Chair and CEO and showing all required information:
- A PDF of the Commission’s Excel template with all required and recommended fields:
