Information on Applying for a Waiver from Annual Compliance Reporting. Currently organisations that
have submitted an EOWA report for at least three consecutive years
and been assessed by EOWA as
compliant with the Equal Opportunity for Women in the Workplace Act 1999
for each year, may apply for a waiver from annual compliance reporting
for a defined period. However, please be aware that the proposed reforms
to EOWA may include the removal of current waiving provisions.
The bill reflecting these proposed reforms has not yet been
tabled in Parliament. This is expected to occur in the Autumn sittings
commencing in February 2012.
