Do I need to file an AODA compliance report?
The next Ontario accessibility compliance report is due December 31, 2026. Answer two questions to see whether it applies to you, and which other AODA rules you need to meet.
Frequently asked questions
Who has to file an AODA compliance report?
Private and non-profit organizations in Ontario with 20 or more employees. Organizations with fewer than 20 employees do not file the report, but they still have to follow the AODA rules that apply to them, such as accessible customer service and staff training.
How often is the AODA compliance report due?
Every three years, on December 31: 2023, 2026 and 2029. The next deadline is December 31, 2026. It is not an annual filing and it is not due on January 1.
Does my website have to meet WCAG if I have fewer than 50 employees?
No. The website standard (WCAG 2.0 Level AA, in force since January 1, 2021) applies to organizations with 50 or more employees and to designated public sector organizations. Smaller organizations are encouraged to follow it, and still have other AODA duties.
Where do I file the report?
Through the Ontario government's Accessibility Compliance Reporting Portal. The steps and forms change, so follow the current instructions on the official Ontario page rather than a third-party summary.
Does this checker give legal advice?
No. It summarizes the thresholds published by the Ontario government. Confirm your situation on ontario.ca, and talk to a lawyer for a specific legal question.
