Enhancing Australia’s first right to repair laws

Share your views on the proposed expansion of Australia’s first right to repair law. This includes proposals to:

Give feedback on improving how the existing right to repair law operates, including:

About the right to repair

The right to repair allows independent repairers and registered training organisations to access service and repair information for motor vehicles.

The MVIS started in 2022. Treasury reviewed the MVIS in 2025. This discussion paper builds on the review findings.
