The Office of Impact Analysis manages both the Australian Government and intergovernmental impact analysis frameworks.
Australian Government Impact Analysis Framework
The Australian Government Impact Analysis Framework outlines the requirements and best practice for impact analysis to help ensure policy decisions are informed by the best available analysis and evidence.
Agencies must assess all policy proposals against the government’s impact analysis requirements. The process and level of analysis required depends on the expected impact of the proposal.
