As of 7 December 2015, the Office of Best Practice Regulation (OBPR) now forms part of the Regulatory Reform Division within the Department of the Prime Minister and Cabinet. The functions of the previous Executive Director of the OBPR will now be undertaken by First Assistant Secretary of the Regulatory Reform Division. The OBPR will continue to administer the Australian Government’s and Council of Australian Governments’ regulatory impact analysis requirements. This change in governance will not affect the OBPR’s independence in assessing the adequacy and quality of Regulation Impact Statements and Post-implementation Reviews.
The Office of Best Practice Regulation (OBPR) has released an online training course, a Massive Open Online Course (MOOC), on regulatory impact analysis. The online training course is available at https://riamooc.com. Effective regulatory impact analysis promotes a rigorous and evidence-based approach to policy development. The MOOC is designed to improve public servants’ ability to undertake regulatory impact analysis and develop the skills required to prepare best practice regulation. The MOOC is suitable for participants with limited knowledge of regulatory impact analysis and for those participants who wish to consolidate or extend their existing skills and knowledge. Participants can complete the course at their own pace and have the flexibility to complete the entire course, or the modules that suit their needs or interests.
