What gridIQ tracks

We ship 8 verified Australian climate-disclosure deadlines. Each one links to its primary source: the Clean Energy Regulator compliance calendar, the AASB S2 standard, or the relevant Act. Deadlines that the regulator flags as evolving are deliberately not included until they can be verified.

NGER · annual

NGER annual report due

Submit the NGER report via EERS for the financial year ending 30 June. Applies to corporate groups exceeding the NGER thresholds (50,000 tCO2-e, 200 TJ production, or 200 TJ consumption).

Safeguard · annual

Safeguard Mechanism surrender deadline

Surrender ACCUs or Safeguard Mechanism Credits to cover any excess emissions for the prior financial year. Applies to designated large facilities (more than 100,000 tCO2-e covered Scope 1 emissions).

Renewables · one-off

LGCs cease to be created

Under the Renewable Energy (Electricity) Act 2000, LGCs cease to be created after 31 December 2030. From 3 November 2025 REGOs (under the Future Made in Australia (Guarantee of Origin) Act 2024) are issued in parallel; renewable electricity claims will need to be re-papered onto REGOs.

AASB S2 · one-off

AASB S2 Group 1 first reporting period commences

For Group 1 entities, the first AASB S2 Sustainability Report reporting period commences on or after 1 January 2025. Limited assurance applies to Scope 1, Scope 2, and governance disclosures in the early years.

AASB S2 · one-off

AASB S2 Group 2 first reporting period commences

For Group 2 entities, the first AASB S2 Sustainability Report reporting period commences on or after 1 July 2026.

AASB S2 · one-off

AASB S2 Group 3 first reporting period commences

For Group 3 entities, the first AASB S2 Sustainability Report reporting period commences on or after 1 July 2027.

AASB S2 · one-off

Reasonable assurance applies to all climate disclosures

For financial years commencing on or after 1 July 2030, reasonable assurance (the higher level under ASSA 5010) applies to all AASB S2 climate-related disclosures, not just Scope 1 / Scope 2 / governance.

AASB S2 · annual

AASB S2 sustainability report lodged with ASIC

Lodge the annual sustainability report with ASIC. Due within 3 months of financial year end for disclosing entities, registered schemes and RSEs, or 4 months for other reporting entities (RG 280.7). Date shown assumes a 30 June financial year end unless an FY-end month is set on the compliance profile.

How it works

Run the free classifier to find out whether AASB S2, NGER, or Safeguard applies to your company.
Save the result to your compliance profile (Pro plan) so the rest of gridIQ uses it.
Open the compliance calendar to see only the deadlines that apply to you.
Choose lead-time windows (default 90 / 30 / 7 days) and turn on email reminders.
Ask Watt AI "what's due in the next 90 days?" It pulls the same data.

Common questions

How does gridIQ know which deadlines apply to me?+

You complete the free classifier at /compliance-classifier, or save a more detailed profile at /compliance-profile. The compliance calendar shows only the deadlines that apply to your AASB S2 reporting group, NGER reporter status and Safeguard-designated facilities, not every deadline in the registry.

When do reminders fire?+

By default, 90, 30 and 7 days before each deadline. You can customise the lead-day windows or mute specific deadlines. Reminders go out the morning each window opens (around 7am AEST).

How do I know the dates are correct?+

gridIQ ships only deadlines we can defend from primary sources: the Clean Energy Regulator compliance calendar, the AASB S2 standard, or the relevant Act. Each deadline links directly to the source. Dates that the doc industry flags as evolving (TEBA, MYMP, EID, borrowing windows) are deliberately not included until they can be verified.

Is this legal advice?+

No. The calendar is a working aid based on public legislative dates. You remain responsible for confirming each deadline with the regulator. Critical filings should be confirmed with your legal or compliance adviser.

Why is the Safeguard surrender date 31 March?+

Under the NGER (Safeguard Mechanism) Rule 2015, designated large facilities must surrender ACCUs or Safeguard Mechanism Credits to cover excess emissions for the prior financial year before 1 April. So the operative deadline in the system is 31 March.

What happens to LGCs after 2030?+

Under the Renewable Energy (Electricity) Act 2000, LGCs cease to be created after 31 December 2030. From 3 November 2025 REGOs (under the Future Made in Australia (Guarantee of Origin) Act 2024) are issued in parallel. Renewable electricity claims based on LGCs will need to be re-papered onto REGOs. The calendar surfaces the sunset date for any user with a reporting obligation.

Compliance dates are provided as a working aid. You remain responsible for confirming each deadline with the regulator. The Australian climate-disclosure framework is evolving. Confirm with a qualified adviser before relying on these dates for compliance decisions.
