Public Submissions
The Commission is inviting submissions from any individual or entity wishing to tell the Commission about misconduct in the Banking, Superannuation or Financial Services Industry.
The online form for submissions is now available on the Royal Commission website.
The Commission is required to conduct an inquiry. It cannot resolve individual disputes, fix or award compensation, or make orders requiring a party to a dispute to take or not take any action.
The online form has been designed to organise the information provided in a way that will guide the user, and help the Commission, by categorising the information in line with the areas of inquiry set out in the Commission’s
Terms of Reference.
The Commission may contact some individuals or entities that make submissions. The Commission will not be able to contact everyone who makes a submission but will ensure that all submissions are recorded, reviewed and used to inform the Commission’s work.
