National Policy Committee

The National Policy Committee (NPC) is charged under the National Constitution with preparing the draft National Platform for the triennial ALP National Conference. The NPC works with Ministers, affiliated unions, state branches, party units and other stakeholders to develop a comprehensive draft document which is debated at the National Conference.

The NPC will be elected by the ALP National Executive at its next meeting.
