Assessment and investigation status updates

This page lists open assessments and investigations and those concluded since 1 July 2020.

You can view full summaries of assessments and investigations finalised in previous years; these are also contained in our annual reports. You can also read past investigation reports that have been tabled in Parliament.

The Commission aims to complete assessments within 40 business days. Investigations, however, can be complex and take considerable time to conclude. This list does not include matters dismissed or referred at triage.
