The National Water Commission, based in Canberra, ACT, operates within the Government Administration sector as a mid-sized public agency focused on national water governance. It provided independent, evidence-based advice to the Council of Australian Governments and the Australian Government on nationwide water issues. In the 2014-15 Budget, the government confirmed plans to close the Commission by the end of that year, with some core functions to be transferred to other agencies. Its primary customers were national policymakers at COAG and federal departments seeking guidance on water policy and management. Located in the national capital, the Commission played a role in informing national-level decision-making rather than delivering services to end users.
