• the validation link is not in your spam folder; and
• your institution’s IT department has whitelisted all emails from sage@sciencegenderequity.org.au.

We do our best to ensure that our system recognises all legitimate email addresses from SAGE subscriber institutions. However, on rare occasions, you may receive a “Sorry, we couldn’t verify that email address” message even though a genuine address was provided.

This may occur when an institution has recently changed its domain name (e.g. following a rebrand) or if your email address contains an identifier that is unique to a specific School/Centre/Department within the institution.

If you encounter this error, please let us know by email to sage@sciencegenderequity.org.au and we will update our system accordingly.
