Reporting date: 12 March 2026

On 24 July 2025 the Senate restored the Remuneration Tribunal Amendment (There For Public Service, Not Profit) Bill 2025 to the notice paper and referred the bill for inquiry and report.

On 29 October 2025, the Committee agreed to seek an extension of the final report to 12 March 2026, to ensure that Senator Lambie is able to participate fully in the inquiry. The committee intends on holding a public hearing in early 2026 to take evidence.

All correspondence and evidence previously received for this inquiry has been made available to the new committee. This means that submissions already provided to the committee about this bill do not need to be re-submitted. The committee intends to refer to the evidence received during the 47th Parliament.
