We gather feedback through consultative committees and public consultation. Feedback from individuals, organisations and government is an important part of policy development and regulatory change.
The feedback you provide is carefully considered and used to inform our decisions.
We will let you know the outcome of our consultations, either directly to those who have submitted feedback, or in a consultation report.
