Victorian Chamber Policy Scorecard: Pillar 2

Building Victoria as the best state to operate a business

We want Victoria to be the best state in Australia to own and operate a business. To do this, Victoria must improve our regulatory, investment, tax and procurement systems. Through minimising barriers and easing the cost and access to doing business, we can improve the business environment, increasing outcomes and Victoria’s attractiveness as a place to do business.
