DoorDash commissioned PPG to research the impact on workers, consumers, small ​businesses and the economy if the Australian Government passed industrial ​relations changes that would implement new conditions of work for Australians ​who choose to earn income through on-demand rideshare and delivery platforms.

Our report concludes that the proposed changes will lead to higher prices for ​consumers, lower earnings for workers, a decline in sales for small businesses and ​a reduction in economic activity across a number of Australian industries:
  • Prices for rideshare and ordering delivery will rise by up to 35%.
  • Consumer spending could fall by more than $1 billion a year.
  • Small business sales will decline by up to $376 million annually.
  • On-demand platform workers could lose over $400 million per year in income.
  • Up to 82,000 Australians will no longer be able to earn income by working on ​on-demand rideshare and delivery platforms.
