Issues paper
The Competition Review is inviting public submissions to its issues paper.
The issues paper covers emerging concerns relating to:
- non-competes and other restraint of trade agreements between businesses and workers
- no-poach and wage-fixing agreements between businesses.
Workers and employer questionnaire
The Competition Review Taskforce is also seeking feedback from workers and employers through a questionnaire. This is in addition to targeted stakeholder engagement and meetings to gather diverse perspectives from workers, business and other experts on these matters.
The feedback will inform the Australian Government’s consideration of whether reform is needed.
The questionnaires are open until 31 May 2024.
