The Circular Economy Ministerial Advisory Group was established in February 2023 and provides advice to the Australian Government on the transition to a more circular economy.
The Advisory Group provides advice through the Minister for the Environment and Water on:
- opportunities associated with Australia’s circular economy transition (nationally, and within specific sectors)
- regulatory, commercial and other barriers to a more circular economy
- best practice initiatives that show promise for adoption and/or expansion in Australia
circular economy research, development and innovation needs
- effective measurement and communication about progress towards Australia’s circular economy.
The Advisory Group is taking an evidence-based approach to its advice, with recommendations grounded in research and consultation.
