Micro-competition Opportunities in the Australian Economy in Relation to eConveyancing

Submission Date: 7 March 2025

The Law Council of Australia provided a submission to the Senate Economics References Committee about its inquiry into micro-competition opportunities in the Australian economy in relation to eConveyancing. This submission is based on input from the Law Council’s National Electronic Conveyancing System Committee.

Noting the broad Terms of Reference for this inquiry, the Law Council reiterates its continued support for interoperability between Electronic Lodgement Network Operators (ELNOs). The Law Council is strongly in favour of competition between ELNOs and considers interoperability to be a non-negotiable feature of the eConveyancing market.

Interoperability would allow a subscriber (such as a lawyer) connected to one ELNO to conduct a transaction with a subscriber connected to a different ELNO. This would allow subscribers to choose the ELNO that is best for them and ensure that they are not required to subscribe to multiple ELNOs.
