Looking for something to do over the summer break?
Parliamentary committees investigate specific matters of policy or government administration or performance. These Committees provide an opportunity for organisations and individuals to participate in policy making and to have their views placed on the public record and considered as part of the decision-making process.
We’ve compiled a list of inquiries accepting submissions over the summer break, ordered by closing date.
