Five pillars of productivity inquiries
Final reports now available
Why the inquiries?
The Productivity Commission was asked by the Australian Government to conduct five inquiries to identify priority reforms under their five pillar productivity growth agenda. We were tasked with developing actionable recommendations that support governments in delivering meaningful and measurable reforms to boost productivity.
Meeting the productivity challenge
Across the five productivity inquiries, we have made 47 reform recommendations aimed at making the most of new technology, boosting investment and ensuring regulation strikes the right balance between benefits and trade-offs, to improve productivity growth and enhance overall wellbeing.
Our reform priorities are summarised in Meeting the productivity challenge, which sets out our reform principles, highlights some anticipated benefits, lists all recommendations and provides an implementation timeline.
Final reports released
The final inquiry reports are available to read for each inquiry:
