Fair Work (Building Industry - Accreditation Scheme) Regulations

Remaking of sunsetting instrument without significant amendments - Department of Employment

The Department of Employment remade the Australian Government Building and Construction WHS Accreditation Scheme (the Scheme) regulations without significant amendments on 10 March 2016. The Fair Work (Building Industry—Accreditation Scheme) Regulation 2016 has been remade for a period of ten years until 2026. The regulations directly facilitate the operation of the Scheme and grant the appropriate authority to the Federal Safety Commissioner in ensuring that this Scheme is complied with. In line with the Australian Government best practice regulation requirements for sunsetting legislative instruments, the Department of Employment has assessed the operation of this instrument in consultation with affected stakeholders and has certified that the instrument is operating effectively and efficiently. Therefore the Office of Best Practice Regulation notes that a Regulation Impact Statement is not required for this instrument to be remade. As the instrument was remade without significant amendments, any costings will be self-assessed by the Department of Employment.
