Service exports
Commissioned study
This study looked into barriers to growth in Australian services exports, focusing on the education, financial services, health services, information technology, professional services and tourism sectors.
Final Report
The final report was released on 7 December 2015 and examines the domestic and international barriers to Australian service exports, with a focus on tourism, education, financial, professional, information technology and health services.
In undertaking this study, the Commission was asked to:
- consider recent trends in services exports by Australian suppliers
- examine the barriers to growth in Australian services exports, including domestic barriers and barriers in key trading partners with which Australia does not have a free trade agreement, and assess the economic benefits of reducing or removing these barriers
- examine the experience of other economies in developing policy approaches in this area.
