Taxi Inquiry Website

On 28 March 2011, the Victorian State Government announced a major independent inquiry into the Victorian taxi and hire car industry.
Professor Allan Fels AO has been appointed to head the inquiry. Professor Fels will be assisted by Dr David Cousins AM.

The inquiry will undertake a comprehensive investigation into all aspects of the taxi and hire car industry and recommend a set of reforms to the government focused on achieving better outcomes for the travelling public.

The inquiry is expected to run for approximately 12 months, culminating in a series of recommendations being made to government.

The first official background paper for the Inquiry titled Setting the Scene was made available for public interest and comment on Thursday 12 May 2011 and can be downloaded from the Inquiry website.

The inquiry will continue to gather input from key stakeholders including taxi and hire car users, industry participants, the business sector, the tourism sector, government agencies and disability agencies.

The inquiry invites interested individuals and organisations to register their interest in the inquiry, make a submission or find out further information by:
