We have released our compliance and enforcement priorities for 2025-2026.
The priorities describe our compliance and enforcement focus for the year ahead. They highlight areas of actual and potential risk to the integrity of the schemes.
Our approach to compliance with these schemes is that the obligation to comply with legislative requirements rests with participants. A strong compliance and enforcement framework is fundamental to maintaining the integrity of Australia's emission reduction schemes and accelerating carbon abatement.
The 2025-2026 compliance and enforcement priorities are:
- ACCU project applications must be complete, accurate and on time.
- ACCU project notifications must be timely.
- Nature Repair Market scheme participants must understand the scheme rules and method requirements, and applications must be accurate and complete.
- All Safeguard facilities' net emissions must be at or below baselines by 31 March.
- All NGER reports must be complete, accurate and on time.
- Installers and retailers must provide true and correct written statements for small-scale technology certificate (STC) claims.
- Battery installations must be compliant.
- Auditors must meet their obligations.
