Posted – 25 March 2020

From Wednesday 25 March, the Australian Law Reform Commission will action enquiries by email only, due to the current status of COVID-19.

The health and well-being of our staff and visitors is paramount, and to help stop the spread of disease, the ALRC business office will be temporarily closed. While the physical office is closed, the team will remain busy, working on the Inquiry into Australia’ corporate criminal responsibility regime.

As this situation unfolds, the ALRC will continue to monitor government advice and respond to any changes as required.
