COAG Consultation Regulation Impact Statement – Consumer Affairs Australian and New Zealand (CAANZ)
On 8 October 2019, the Treasury, on behalf of CAANZ, released a Council of Australian Governments (COAG) Regulation Impact Statement (RIS) for consultation on improving the effectiveness of the Consumer Product Safety System. The purpose of the consultation process was to determine how reform of the product safety legislative framework could improve safety outcomes for consumers, enhance clarity for businesses, and improve government’s ability to respond to unsafe products without imposing unnecessary costs.
The Consultation RIS was assessed by the Office of Best Practice Regulation as compliant with the COAG Best Practice Regulation requirements.
Comments on the Consultation RIS closed on 30 November 2019. More information on the consultation process can be found here.
