Stakeholder Interaction
NEMMCO conducts regular consultations seeking feedback from market participants, the broader industry and other interested parties. Some of these consultations are required by the National Electricity Rules which require NEMMCO to establish procedures for consultation with registered participants and others on the manner in which NEMMCO fulfils its functions and obligations under the Rules.
Archived consultation documents are available from NEMMCO's Information Centre on 1300 361 011 (toll free).
REFERENCE GROUPS & COMMITTEES
NEMMCO has established a number of working groups to consult with stakeholders and interested parties. The purpose of the working groups is to provide an additional communication forum to assist in resolving issues as they arise and to contribute to the NEM’s ongoing improvement. Some working groups are convened for special purposes or projects, others are on-going. The list of NEMMCO Working groups is not an exhaustive list of industry groups, but indicates those groups that NEMMCO chairs, convenes or provides secretariat support to.

PARTICIPANT ADVISORY COMMITTEE
The establishment of the Participant Advisory Committee (PAC) represents the formal process by which stakeholders are able to provide industry input to NEMMCO's Board decision-making processes. The PAC provides the Board with assistance, feedback and information on the operation of the wholesale National Electricity Market (NEM). The Committee consists of up to 15 members appointed from the nominations received by the Board. Nominations are at the level of Chief Executive Officer or Managing Director.
All industry sectors - generators, network service providers, market customers and retail customers - are represented on the Committee. Others with relevant experience in the electricity supply industry are also encouraged to register their interest.
Appointments are for a period not exceeding two years, and they are subject to annual review. The role of the committee will also be reviewed annually.
