Right to repair

Final report released

What is an inquiry?

What we were asked to look at The focus of this inquiry was on consumers’ ability to repair faulty goods and to access repair services at a competitive price. We were asked to look at the barriers and enablers of competition in repair markets and the costs and benefits of a regulated ‘right to repair’, including facilitating access to embedded software in consumer and other goods. We were also asked to look at arrangements for preventing premature or planned product obsolescence and the proliferation of e‑waste, and means of reducing e‑waste through improved access to repairs.
