The CCSA operates as an independent authority under the Department of Trade, Industry, and Competition (DTIC). It is led by a Commissioner, appointed by the Minister of Trade, Industry, and Competition. The Commission collaborates with the Competition Tribunal, which adjudicates competition cases, and the Competition Appeal Court, which handles appeals.
