Annual Report Designers for Melbourne.
Annual Report Designers (ARD) creates print, interactive PDF, WCAG accessible and ESG reports for Melbourne ASX 200, industry super, VIC government and NFP teams. Fixed fee, on your lodgement deadline.
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 in Melbourne, 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 Melbourne reporting teams say.
“Calm, prepared and on the brief from the first call. The report landed on the AGM date and looked better than anything we'd produced before.”
“Accessible PDF, print and the social tiles were all delivered on the same lodgement deadline. Board approved the design at the first review.”
“They turned a dense research output into something our policy audience actually reads. We've used the same studio for the next two reports.”

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.
I have 25 years experience as a graphic designer and creative director, establishing Jen Clark Design in 2011 after years across independent and in-house design teams. Today Annual Report Designers is trusted by Australian boards, NFPs and listed companies for annual, sustainability and impact reports.
