The ACCC may decide to publish an interim or final determination that it has made in an arbitration. A statement of reasons for the determination may also be published.
The Trade Practices Act 1974 requires that where the ACCC proposes to publish a determination the ACCC must consult with the parties to that arbitration. Each party has 14 days to provide a written submission identifying any parts that should not be published along with the party’s reasons for that view.
The legislation also provides that when making its decision to publish a determination the ACCC must consider:
submissions from the parties

whether publication would be likely to facilitate the operation of Part XIC of the Act and
any other matter the ACCC considers relevant.
