Protective commissioner fees to be reduced

25/02/2009

The Independent Pricing and Regulatory Tribunal (IPART) has released a report recommending that certain fees paid to the Office of the Protective Commissioner (OPC) be capped at significantly lower levels than at present. In a media release issued today, the chief executive of IPART, Mr Jim Cox, said the new caps are designed to reduce cross-subsidisation between OPC clients that exists in the current fee structures.

Attorney General John Hatzistergos, in a media statement issued today, has announced that the new fee structure will be implemented in two installments, on 1 April and 1 July 2009.
