The Consumer Advisory Committee (CAC) acts as the voice of consumers, advising us on issues that matter to consumers.
The committee was established in 2007 and its members are seven consumer organisations:
- The Chamber of Commerce and Industry Queensland
- The Council on the Ageing (COTA)
- The Energy Users Association of Australia
- The Financial Counsellors Association of Queensland
- The Queensland Farmers Federation (represented by Canegrowers)
- The Queensland Consumers Association
- The Queensland Council of Social Services.
The committee provides important input into QCA decisions, including regulated electricity pricing, administration of the Electricity Distribution Network Code and Gas Distribution Network Code and other issues important to energy customers.
The Consumer Advisory Committee (CAC) operates according to a customer charter.
When full retail competition was introduced into Queensland’s energy market, the law required the QCA to establish a Consumer Advisory Committee. CAC advises on the interests of consumers (particularly the interests of small consumers) where they could be affected, while the QCA performs its responsibilities under the Electricity Act and Gas Supply Act.
On 7 March 2007, the QCA issued a draft charter that identified the objectives of CAC, its terms of reference, initial membership and operating arrangements. The draft charter also dealt with the administrative issues of remuneration of members, administrative support and the handling of confidential information.
The QCA received seven submissions in response to the draft charter. These were all considered in preparing a final charter for CAC.
The Consumer Advisory Committee Charter was approved on 18 April 2007 and can be downloaded below.
