NSW Productivity and Equality Commission

Productivity growth is important for improving our living standards. This means making the best use of our knowledge, technology, research, and physical resources. The Productivity and Equality Commission's role is to find ways to increase productivity in both private and public sectors. It also works on improving regulations and increasing competition to provide better and more affordable goods and services for the people of NSW.

The Commission talks with different groups to make sure all research and advice is well-informed. Research helps inform public debate and policy discussions to make NSW a better place to live and work.
