Women's Advancement Plan for the Austrian Administrative Court repealed as of 12 August 2026
The regulation setting out the women's advancement plan (Frauenförderungsplan) for the Administrative Court (Verwaltungsgerichtshof) has been repealed with effect from 12 August 2026 by BGBl. II Nr. 243/2026. Judges, civil servants, and contract staff employed at the Administrative Court are affected.
What changed
The regulation BGBl. II Nr. 171/2024, which contained the women's advancement plan and gender-representation targets for the Administrative Court, was formally repealed on 12 August 2026. The repeal was enacted through BGBl. II Nr. 243/2026. The table formatting in the annex was also adjusted, but the statistical data remained unchanged.
Who is affected
This concerns judges, civil servants, and contract employees working at the Austrian Administrative Court (Verwaltungsgerichtshof). Human-resources officers and managers at that court who applied the promotion measures set out in the plan are directly affected.
What to look out for
Until a successor regulation is published, the specific promotion measures and targets referenced in this plan (e.g. aiming for at least 50 % women in newly filled judicial posts) no longer have a formal legal basis under this instrument. Staff and HR units should watch for any replacement regulation.
