About this committee

At the dissolution of the Senate and the House of Representatives on 9 May 2016 for a general election on 2 July 2016, the parliamentary committees of the 44th Parliament ceased to exist. Therefore inquiries that were not completed have lapsed and submissions cannot be received.  However, information about the inquiries is still available on this website. 

Information on this committee in the 45th Parliament will be presented here as soon as it is available.    

On 4 February 2016, the Senate resolved to establish the Select Committee on School Funding Investment. The committee is to inquire on the effect of reduced Commonwealth funding for state and territory provided schools and provide a final report to the Senate by 30 August 2016.

Submissions closed 4 March 2016.
