Submissions
The commission calls for submissions as part of its consultation process. Submissions are basically your ideas and opinions about one of the commission's current projects.
Asking for submissions is one way the commission can gauge what people think about current laws, how they should be changed and why.
The commission accepts submissions in many ways—via the online form on this website, emails, letters, telephone conversations, face-to-face meetings—to allow as many people as possible to participate in law reform. They can be on behalf of individuals or groups.
Submissions are public documents, which means they can be uploaded to our website or looked at in our offices. Submissions can also be anonymous, so it can be viewed but all identifying details are removed, or confidential, which means nobody but the researchers can view them.
When submissions are called for you may be able to make a submission using the online form available in the 'Have Your Say' section of this website.
