About the organisation
The Essential Services Commission (the commission) is Victoria's independent economic regulator of essential services supplied by a range of industries. The services provided by these industries touch the lives of every Victorian and are among the most important contributors to the social and economic wellbeing of all Victorians. The commission's primary objective is to promote the long-term interests of Victorian customers with respect to the price, quality and reliability of essential services. The commission comprises of four commissioners and a Chief Executive Officer, who leads the executive team. The Price Monitoring and Regulation division (PMaR) is responsible for administering the economic regulation frameworks for water businesses, energy pricing, the Port of Melbourne and local government, playing a crucial role in ensuring that Victorian consumers have access to fair, efficient and affordable essential services.
