The FTI Consulting Economic & Financial Consulting (EFC) practice in Australia principally works across the following practice areas:
Government
EFC's Government practice assists public sector and public sector adjacent clients in Australia and beyond, as well as private sector entities that interface with government. Economics is the language of public policy and the Government practice area provides the evidence base to support informed decision‐making across the policy life‐cycle through policy development, implementation and evaluation.

We support a wide range of clients from regulators to businesses as well as policymakers in navigating these regulatory frameworks and assist them in setting the appropriate market rules and settings, reporting on the suitability and effectiveness of existing regulation, as well as preparing submissions and documents to give effect to efficient investment and competition.
