This paper outlines a new digital competition regime proposed by the government.
The regime aims to promote competition in digital platform markets. It will address conduct that:
is anti‑competitive
creates barriers to entry
exploits market power to harm Australian users of digital platform services.
The paper seeks views on the proposal, focusing on:
the framework and legislative approach – including in‑scope and priority services
the designation process – to make sure the regime is targeted
obligations for designated firms
enforcement and compliance mechanisms.
