AER Publishes Embedded Network Review Draft Decision - March 2025
March 28, 2025
On 17 March 2025, the AER released the Review of the AER exemptions framework for embedded networks Draft Decision along with proposed amendments to the Network Exemptions Guideline and the Retail Exempt Selling Guideline. While the AER proposes guideline amendments to resolve some identified gaps, the Draft Decision recognises that comprehensive reform, requiring joint action from jurisdictional governments, is essential to address issues beyond the AER's regulatory scope. The next steps for stakeholders would be to consider if the guidelines apply to them, to have a compliance audit done, and/or make a submission on the draft guidelines.
