Submission of public input to standing select committees
The public can provide written or verbal submissions to standing select committees on legislation or matters of public importance. These submissions are considered before bills are passed in Parliament.
These committees also investigate matters of public importance, hold public hearings and receive submissions from the public.

Public participation in committee hearings
Members of the public can attend committee meetings, which are generally open to the public, to voice opinions, submit input, and influence legislative decisions. This includes attending public hearings held by standing select committees on matters of public importance.
Their meetings are open to the public, although they may be closed if there is a very good reason to do so. They are the ‘engine’ of Parliament and play a vital role in the process of building democracy and facilitating public involvement.
