About this Submission

In recent years, the Chamber has driven significant public policy debates in NSW. Our goal in doing so is to help create an economic environment that is supportive of productivity, growth, investment and jobs.

Secretary to the Treasury, Dr Martin Parkinson, recently emphasised the importance of improving Australia’s competitiveness in global markets. Dr Parkinson pointed out that this will require investment in the skills of our workforce so that Australians have the opportunity to move into higher paid jobs.
