Australian Government

The OBPR, in its role of administering the Government’s best practice regulation process and reporting on compliance with the requirements, assesses whether:

  • a RIS was prepared to inform the decision maker at the policy approval stage and whether the analysis contained in the RIS satisfies the Government’s adequacy criteria;
  • the RIS prepared at the decision-making stage was published on the OBPR’s website, tabled in the Parliament or otherwise made public (transparency stage);
  • ‘exceptional circumstances’ were granted by the Prime Minister at the decision-making stage, and if an adequate RIS was not prepared, a PIR is required to commence within one to two years of the implementation date, and
  • An Annual Regulatory Plan was published.
