Australia’s mandatory climate reporting is being phased in.

The new sustainability reporting regime applies to entities that already prepare an annual financial report under Chapter 2M of the Corporations Act and meet specified size, emissions or asset thresholds. It does not apply to every company or charity.

Reports include climate-related governance, strategy, risk management, metrics and targets under AASB S2. We turn approved content into a clear, accessible report, ready for review, assurance and publication.

Small proprietary companies without Chapter 2M reporting obligations and registered charities not required to prepare a Chapter 2M annual financial report are outside this regime. Australia has about 65,000 registered charities, but that is sector context, not the number covered by mandatory climate disclosure.

What education reporting teams expect from a designer.

  • Will the report meet our council, senate or board tabling deadline?
  • Can you present research output, HDR and impact data clearly?
  • Do you understand TEQSA, ASQA, HESA and VRQA reporting expectations?
  • Can you align the report with the AQF and our institutional brand?
  • How do you handle international student and CRICOS disclosure?
  • Have you delivered for universities, TAFEs or schools before?

Education and Universities reporting team reviewing a report

The standards your education report is designed to meet.

We design every report to clear, named standards so your audit, assurance and accessibility leads have nothing to chase.

TEQSA
Tertiary Education Quality and Standards Agency.
ASQA
Australian Skills Quality Authority for VET providers.
HESA
Higher Education Support Act compliance reporting.
AQF
Australian Qualifications Framework.
VRQA
Victorian Registration and Qualifications Authority.
ESOS Act
Education Services for Overseas Students Act and CRICOS obligations.
WCAG 2.1 AA
Accessibility baseline for university and government publications.

Reporting in education and universities

Universities, TAFEs, independent schools and training providers carry a heavy reporting load. Council and senate annual reports, research and impact reports, quality and compliance returns to TEQSA, ASQA, HESA and VRQA all sit on top of the academic year. We design them so students, staff, alumni, donors and government can actually read them.

Standards we work against

Reports are built against the Australian Qualifications Framework, TEQSA Higher Education Standards, the Higher Education Support Act, ESOS Act and CRICOS obligations, and ASQA standards for VET providers. WCAG 2.1 AA accessibility is in scope by default.

What we deliver

Annual report, research and impact report, council and board reports, donor and alumni summary. Print, accessible PDF and microsite outputs handled in one project.

Hi, I'm Jen Clark. I design annual reports.

I lead every annual report project from brief to lodgement, including the data visualisation, accessible PDF, print production and ESG disclosure sections. Shaped, reviewed and signed off by me. A trusted extended team of writers, illustrators, data-viz specialists, accessible-PDF taggers and print producers joins for production under my direction. So you get specialist depth with a single point of contact.

Today Annual Report Designers is trusted by Australian boards, NFPs and listed companies for annual, sustainability and impact reports.

Education questions.

Cost, timeline, accessibility, NDAs.

All questions
Can you align the report with TEQSA Higher Education Standards?
Yes. We map content against the TEQSA Higher Education Standards Framework so council and senate reporting and provider re-registration evidence both pull from the same source.
Do you handle research and impact reporting?
Yes. We design HDR completion data, ERA outcomes, research grants, citations and impact case studies as part of the annual report or as a standalone research and impact report.
Will the report meet WCAG 2.1 AA for university publication?
Yes. We deliver tagged, screen-reader-tested PDFs that meet WCAG 2.1 AA. Universities and TAFEs publish to that baseline as a hard requirement.
Can you align with the AQF and CRICOS disclosures?
Yes. AQF qualification structures, CRICOS course data and ESOS Act obligations are designed alongside the rest of the report.
Do you produce alumni and donor versions of the report?
Yes. We design alumni and donor summaries that sit alongside the full council report for advancement, philanthropy and community audiences.
What does a education report typically cost?
Most education reports land in the $14,000–$30,000 band depending on page count, format and the volume of original data visualisation. We confirm a fixed fee in writing after a 20-minute scoping call. See full pricing.
