Government must wake Australia up from this regulatory nightmare
- CPA Australia’s pre-budget submission sets out five key recommendations to reduce regulatory pressure on Australian business.
- Newly-released National Small Business Strategy fails to deliver clear vision or solutions to Australia’s productivity crisis.
In its 2025 pre-budget submission, CPA Australia is calling for the government to:
- Increase investment into technology and data to improve digital interactions between business, their advisers and government
- Fund ongoing reviews of existing laws and regulations to identify ineffective or inefficient rules for removal or improvement
- Improve the public consultation process
- Incentivise the development of RegTech solutions
- Strengthen the assessment framework for industry levy proposals
