Review of Mutual Recognition Schemes

How to make a submission

This is a public inquiry and the Commission invites interested people and organisations to register their interest and make a written submission.

Each submission, unless made in confidence, will be published on the Commission's website shortly after receipt, and will remain there indefinitely as a public document. Copyright in submissions sent to the Commission resides with the author(s), not with the Commission.

Preparing submissions

The following notes may assist in preparing submissions:

• There is no set structure for submissions and participants may comment on any matter they consider relevant to the topic. This could range from a short letter outlining your views on the topic to a more substantial document covering a range of issues. Where possible, you should provide data and/or documentation to support your views.
• Under certain circumstances the Commission can accept material in confidence, including commercially sensitive material. However, you are encouraged to contact the Commission to discuss the best way to do this before submitting such material.
• Each submission should be accompanied by a submission cover sheet (which includes the address to which the submissions can be forwarded). The Commission prefers to receive submissions by email. However, submissions can also be accepted by post or fax. Track changes, editing marks, hidden text and internal links should be removed from submissions before sending to the Commission.
• For submissions received from individuals, all personal details other than name and state/territory of residence (e.g. home address, home phone number) will be removed from the submission before it is published on the website to comply with privacy laws.

Please lodge your submission with us by Friday 12 December 2008 so that we can make full use of it in our final report.
