The federal communications department has selected the Queensland University of Technology for a tender worth $219,989.01 which will see it conduct an independent review of the media sector.

A spokesperson for the department said the tender was part of ongoing reform across the media sector.

“In December 2019, the Government announced it would be undertaking a staged process of regulatory reform towards platform-neutral regulation of the Australian media as part of its response to the ACCC’s Digital Platforms Inquiry report,” a spokesperson for the Department of Infrastructure, Transport, Regional Development and Communications said.

“The Department seeks expert advice on the range of media business models that have been adopted in overseas markets, and what measures have been put in place, or are being considered, to support media providers to transition to a more sustainable footing.
