The Office of Best Practice Regulation (OBPR) has updated a range of guidance material associated with the Australian Government Guide to Regulation to reflect changes made by the Government in late 2015. The Australian Government Guide to Regulation provides high-level principles for policy makers and outlines a process for developing a Regulation Impact Statement (RIS). There are four types of RISs: Long Form, Standard Form, Short Form and Interim. This revised guidance note describes the circumstances when a Short Form or Interim RIS might be appropriate for a policy proposal.
