Environmental Defenders Office (EDO) welcomes the opportunity to make a submission to the Select Committee on PFAS (per-and polyfluoroalkyl substances) on the extent, regulation and management of PFAS. This submission is focused on the terms of reference relating to the effectiveness of federal regulatory frameworks, and opportunities for reform within those legal and policy frameworks. EDO’s recommendations are focused on translating existing principles and guidance into enforceable and consistent rules across the states and territories.
