Treasury released the annotated agenda for an Economic Reform Roundtable held 19-21 August 2025 at Parliament House. The roundtable brought together senior government officials including the Prime Minister, Treasurer Jim Chalmers, RBA Governor Michele Bullock, and external experts from business, academia, and international affairs. Day 1 focused on three substantive sessions: international risks and trade opportunities (with farmers' federation and ANU representation); skills attraction and workforce development (addressing skill shortages, migration settings, and education system responsiveness); and capital attraction and business investment. The agenda contextualised discussions around building economic resilience through comparative advantages, strategic international engagement, and workforce adaptability amid structural economic shifts and AI-driven changes. The document provides guidance on topic allocation across sessions but contains no policy decisions, costings, or analytical findings.
