Non-inquiry work
Regular evidence sessions
Some committees take evidence from certain officeholders or organisations on a regular basis outside the structure of an inquiry.
Non-inquiry sessions
Non-inquiry sessions are brief packages of work that will not necessarily result in a report. They may be used to revisit previous inquiry topics or take evidence on a topical matter.
Legislative scrutiny
Legislative scrutiny focuses on a particular piece of legislation, sometimes in draft form. The committee might consider it in private, or may take evidence.
