[How to use this template: action then delete all guidance that appears within square brackets]

The proposed policy approach and policy problem addressing

Proposed approach

[This section should briefly outline the policy approach for consideration (including why this option is preferred) and what the policy is aiming to achieve (objectives and outcomes). Please use the Australian Government Impact Analysis Framework to assist with populating this dashboard.]

Policy problem

[This section should outline the overarching policy problem (include detailed analysis below in ‘status quo’ column on what impacts are occurring, to whom), supported by key data and evidence and the reason for intervention (including if any current policies have sought to address the problem and, if and why, those policies are not working).]

Summary of impacts and methodology

[For the proposed option, summarise key costs and benefits relative to the status quo, and the methodology used. Please consider OIA guidance on methodologies.]

Option	Benefits ([X$ unit (e.g. p/a) over x years])	Other costs ([X$ unit (e.g. p/a) over x years])	Net impact ([X$ unit (e.g. p/a) over x years])	Regulatory burden ([X$ over 10 years])
Proposed: [title]	[X$ / unknown / negligible]	[X$ / unknown / negligible]	[X$ / unknown / negligible]	[Use Regulatory Burden Measurement Framework X$ over 10 years or N/A]
Alternative: [title]	[X$ / unknown / negligible]	[X$ / unknown / negligible]	[X$ / unknown / negligible]	[X$ over 10 years or N/A]

Economic and social impacts

Status quo	Proposed option
Assessment of existing economic impacts on: People - [Can be qualitative if no data available.] Businesses – [(Small and large) or specific sectors. Can be qualitative if no data available.] Others – [(For example, community organisations, or regions). Can be qualitative if no data available.] [What is likely to happen if the government does nothing?] Stakeholder views: [draw on key evidence from consultations.]	Economic and social impacts on: People – [Description] Businesses – [(Small and large) or specific sectors.] Others – [(For example, community organisations, or regions).] [Economic includes (but is not limited to) impacts on growth, output, consumer purchasing power / income and productivity (for example, efficiency and innovation), and competition impacts such as changes in market functioning and market power. Social impacts may include changes in health and education outcomes.] Stakeholder views: [draw on key evidence from consultations, including views on distributional impacts.]

Regulatory burden

Status quo	Proposed option
Assessment of any existing compliance and/or delay costs facing: People - [Can be qualitative if no data available.] Businesses – [(Small and large) or specific sectors. Can be qualitative if no data available.] Others – [(e.g. community organisations, or regions). Can be qualitative if no data available.] Stakeholder views: [draw on key evidence from consultations on current regulatory settings.]	Change in the regulatory burden for: People – [Including compliance and/or delay cost.] Businesses – [(small and large) or specific sectors. Including compliance and/or delay cost.] Others – [(e.g. community organisations or regions). Including compliance and/or delay cost.] Stakeholder views: [draw on key evidence from consultations on regulatory burden change.]

Fiscal and revenue impacts (not to be published)

Status quo	Proposed option
Assessment of existing impacts on: Expenditure – [Can be qualitative if no data available.] Revenue – [(Including non-tax revenue). Can be qualitative if no data available.] [If these impacts are relevant to economic, social and competition impacts, include above.]	Fiscal impacts: [change in expected government expenditure via funding, grants etc.] Revenue impacts: [change in revenue generated via charging (including estimated cost on entities and number of affected entities – visit Australian Government Charging Framework) or taxation (including estimated cost on entities and number of affected entities).]

Strategic considerations (not to be published)

[Include expected significant impacts on related government priorities. This section should analyse the tradeoffs between existing strategic policy priorities and the proposed policy approach.]

Synergy with other priorities	Friction with other priorities
Priority A: [Explain how the current proposal aids priority A.] Priority B: [Explain how the current proposal aids priority B.]	Priority C: [Explain why the current proposal may raise issues for priority C.] Priority D: [Explain why the current proposal may raise issues for priority D.]

Other considerations and implementation

[This section should briefly outline other policy options considered during policy development and why they were not the preferred option, including at least one option that should be a non-regulatory option (unless it can be demonstrated that a non-regulatory option is not viable).]

What success looks like

[Note factors that will make change a success, including measurable targets if possible.]

Implementation approach

[Include data collection and how key risks will be managed.]

Planned evaluation

[(Is an evaluation planned? If yes, include the timing and type of evaluation. Refer to Australian Centre for Evaluation guidance).]

Statement of Sufficiency

I confirm that this Dashboard Impact Analysis (IA) prepared for [title of proposal] meets the requirements set out in the Australian Government Impact Analysis Framework.

I confirm that the level of analysis is proportionate to the policy issue being considered.

I note the Dashboard IA provides analysis of the impacts of the proposal using the 7 IA questions and:

a high-level summary of costs and benefits and an estimate in the change in the regulatory burden, of the policy options under consideration

high-level analysis of the policy option against the government’s key strategic priorities

a summary of relevant distributional effects and evidence of key stakeholder feedback incorporated into the policy design

other details required to understand and assess the proposal.
