Companies must publish their corporate plans on their website by the last day of the second month of the reporting period for which the plan is prepared. For most companies, this is 31 August each year.
Giving Corporate Plans to the Responsible Minister and the Finance Minister
Directors are required to give a copy of the corporate plan to their responsible Minister and the Minister for Finance as soon as practicable after the plan is prepared and before it is published on their company’s website.
There is no legal requirement under the PGPA Act or Rule for the responsible Minister to clear or approve companies corporate plans. Companies should follow any arrangements that they have agreed with the relevant Minister’s office on finalising and publishing their corporate plans.
A copy of the company's corporate plan must be given to the responsible Minister and the Finance Minister as soon as practicable after it is prepared and before it is published on the company's website. To meet the requirement to give the corporate plan to the Finance Minister, a copy of your corporate plan should be sent to the Department of Finance at PGPA@finance.gov.au. Companies do not need to send a copy of the corporate plan to the Office of the Finance Minister directly.
The Department of Finance is responsible for publishing the company’s corporate plan on the Transparency Portal after the plan has been sent to PGPA@finance.gov.au and the plan has been published on the company’s website.
