COAG REFORM COUNCIL (CRC)

The material on these pages is the responsibility of the CRC, and does not reflect the views of governments/COAG.

The COAG Reform Council (CRC) is an integral part of the institutional arrangements that support the implementation of the COAG Reform Agenda (CRA). The CRC's role is to:

  • monitor and report on important reforms agreed by COAG aimed at increasing the nation’s productivity and workforce participation;
  • report on performance information against Specific Purpose Payments (SPPs) outcomes and progress measures, including an analytical overview for each SPP;
  • independently assess whether predetermined milestones and performance benchmarks have been achieved under National Partnership (NP) agreements; and
  • assess performance of the Commonwealth and Basin States under Commonwealth-State Water Management Partnerships as part of the Agreement on Murray-Darling Basin Reform. 

The CRC is independent of individual governments and reports directly to COAG.  At the request of COAG, the CRC also reports to the Prime Minister as the Chair of COAG in regard to its monitoring and assessment role within the new Commonwealth-State Financial Framework.

The CRC monitors progress in implementing CRA reforms, including reporting on the aggregate pace of activity against COAG’s agreed reform agenda.  The CRC provided its first report to COAG in March 2008 that presented an initial examination of implementation progress in the seven areas of reform referred to the Council in April 2007.

The CRC does not set reform agendas, provide policy advice or implement reforms.
