On 26 March 2024, we released an Issues Paper highlighting some of the key elements of Directlink's proposal and identifying the issues that are likely to be the focus of our assessment and engagement with stakeholders. We welcome submissions from stakeholders by 15 May 2024.

Stakeholder forum

Consumer engagement is a valuable input to our determination. Stakeholders can assist in our process by providing their views on aspects of the proposal.
