📅 Reporting Schedule & Deadlines
| Quarter | Period Covered | Due Date | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|

Reports Are Cumulative
Reports are cumulative. Q2 includes all Q1 data. Q4 includes the full year plus annual reconciliation rows. For stock tabs, each month's row is independent (opening/closing snapshots). "Cumulative" means Q2 shows January through June monthly rows, not that values are summed across quarters.
📊 What the Report Covers
The ODC Quarterly Report contains the following tabs:
- Licence Holder Details - Your organisation, licence number, site ID, and permit information (auto-populated from your organisation settings; see Licence Holder Setup below)
- Crops - Medicinal - Plant counts for medicinal cannabis (generated, propagated, harvested, destroyed). See Crops article
- Crops - Scientific - Plant counts for scientific/research cannabis. See Crops article
- Cannabis Stock >1% THC - Weight tracking for high-THC dried cannabis and fresh cannabis (in kg). See Cannabis Stock article
- Cannabis Stock <=1% THC - Weight tracking for low-THC cannabis. See Cannabis Stock article

🔑 Key Concepts
Dry Weight at 10% Moisture
All weights in the report are standardised to dry weight in kilograms at 10% moisture content. GrowerIQ automatically converts fresh cannabis weights.
THC Classification
Cannabis is split into high THC (>1%) and low THC (<=1%) based on the most recent THC test result recorded in GrowerIQ.
Plant Counting
A plant is counted when it is recorded as germinated or propagated in GrowerIQ (seeds germinated, cuttings rooted).
Zero-Fill
If a column does not apply to your operation, GrowerIQ leaves it as zero. No manual entry needed.
📜 Regulatory Context
Narcotic Drugs Act 1967
This report is required under the Narcotic Drugs Act 1967 for all holders of a valid medicinal cannabis permit for cultivation, production, or manufacture. The template follows the Office of Drug Control (ODC) Cannabis Reporting Template v2 (September 2022).
❓ Common Questions
What if I have multiple sites? Generate a separate report for each permitted site. Select the site in the report settings.
What's the difference between Q1-Q3 and Q4? Q4 includes the full calendar year data plus annual reconciliation rows that verify your yearly totals balance correctly.
Do I need to fill in anything manually? No. GrowerIQ auto-populates every field from your recorded activities. Review the Pre-Submission Review tab before submitting. See Pre-Submission Review article.
