Section 1: Overview, Appropriations and Budget Measures Summary

OVERVIEW

The Productivity Commission (PC) is the Commonwealth Government's principal advisory body on all aspects of microeconomic reform. The Commission's work covers all sectors of the economy. It extends to the public and private sectors and focuses on areas of Commonwealth as well as State and Territory responsibility.

As a review and advisory body the PC does not have responsibility for implementing government programmes. It carries out research, inquiry, advising and incidental functions prescribed under legislation.

The PC contributes to well-informed policy decision-making and public understanding on matters relating to Australia's productivity and living standards, based on independent and transparent analysis from a community-wide perspective. It does this by undertaking:

APPROPRIATIONS

Total appropriations for the PC in the 1999-2000 Budget are $21.7 million (see Table 1.1).
