What we’ve been asked to look at
The Productivity Commission has been asked to review Australia’s productivity performance and recommend an actionable roadmap to assist governments to make productivity-enhancing reforms.
This Inquiry is the second in a series, undertaken at 5 yearly intervals – the previous Inquiry was completed in 2017.

Call for submissions paper
The Commission has released a paper calling for submissions and comments to the Inquiry. Individuals and organisations providing submissions or comments should provide evidence to support their views, including data and specific examples where possible.
Initial submissions were due by 23 March 2022.
Interim reports
The Commission will seek further information and feedback from interim reports at a date to be determined in 2022.
Final report to Government and release
The final inquiry report is to be handed to the Australian Government in early 2023.
The release of the final report by the Government is the final step in the process.
Under the Productivity Commission Act 1998, the Government is required to table the report in each House of the Parliament within 25 sitting days of receipt.
