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.

  2. Group 21 July 2026Financial years beginning on or after this date
  3. Group 31 July 2027Financial years beginning on or after this date

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 healthcare reporting teams expect from a designer.

  • Will the report meet our state health department tabling deadline?
  • Can you present clinical and quality indicator data clearly?
  • Do you handle patient and resident storytelling with the right consent process?
  • Can you align the report with the National Safety and Quality Health Service Standards?
  • How do we present aged care Star Ratings and quality indicators?
  • Have you delivered for hospitals, LHDs or aged care providers before?

Three things we bring to a healthcare brief.

Reporting in healthcare and aged care

Health services and aged care providers carry one of the heaviest reporting loads in the country. Annual reports, quality accounts, care reports and statutory disclosures all sit on top of clinical operations. We design them so the people who fund, govern and use the service can actually read them.

Standards we work against

Reports are built against the National Safety and Quality Health Service (NSQHS) Standards, the Aged Care Quality Standards and AHPRA guidance for clinical content. WCAG 2.1 AA accessibility is in scope by default for state health and federal aged care publications.

What we deliver

Annual report, quality account, aged care quality and Star Ratings report, board and member communications. Print, accessible PDF and microsite outputs handled in one project.

Healthcare questions.

Cost, timeline, accessibility, NDAs.

All questions
Can you align the report with the NSQHS Standards?
Yes. We map content against the eight NSQHS Standards so accreditation evidence and board reporting both pull from the same source.
Do you handle aged care Star Ratings and quality indicator reporting?
Yes. We design the Star Ratings summary, the National Aged Care Mandatory Quality Indicator Program data and the resident experience reporting in one document.
Will the report meet WCAG 2.1 AA for state health publication?
Yes. We deliver tagged, screen-reader-tested PDFs that meet WCAG 2.1 AA. State health departments publish to that baseline as a hard requirement.
How do you handle patient and resident consent for stories?
We work to your existing clinical consent process. Stories are de-identified or fully consented, and the design treatment respects the clinical context.
Can you produce a plain-English summary for the community?
Yes. We design plain-English summaries that sit alongside the full report for community, family and member audiences.
What does a healthcare report typically cost?
Most healthcare reports land in the $14,000–$28,000 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.
