What does it mean to be an ‘Australian’ business?

According to a great article in The Mandarin by Tom Ravlic - ‘What is an Australian business for government procurement purposes?’ - the Commonwealth Government is:

“looking to increase the opportunities for Australian businesses to win public sector contracts by redefining the term ‘Australian business’.”

It will be interesting to see how sincere this move is, and what constitutes an ‘Australian’ business under the proposed changes will no doubt be contentious to many!

Consultation phase is now open through to 25 October 2024.
