Proposed post-launch work

Future Policy Consultation

IVSA intends to develop its advocacy agenda only after listening to founding members, gathering evidence, and establishing appropriate governance.

Current position: IVSA has not submitted policy proposals, secured policy changes, or entered into formal policy engagements with government departments or regulators. The subjects below are possible areas for future consultation, not current initiatives or adopted positions.
