From the start, the Act required the Regulator to give the Minister a report every quarter, to be tabled in Parliament, covering licences issued, "any breaches of conditions of a GMO licence that have come to the Regulator's attention" and its auditing and monitoring. The Gene Technology Amendment Act 2015 repealed that requirement and moved the content to the annual report. The office kept publishing quarterly activities reports anyway, though since at least 2022 they have said that findings "are provided in the Regulator's Annual Report". The latest found on the OGTR website, at 26 October 2026, covers April to June 2025. Whether the series has quietly ended is not known.
