The Office of Impact Analysis (OIA) has released a refreshed version of the Australian Government Guide to Policy Impact Analysis. Alongside a small name change (previously Australian Government Guide to Regulatory Impact Analysis), the guide has a new look and feel with minor content updates.
The guide is an important resource in supporting the Australian Public Service as they develop new policy. It is key in helping government agencies make informed policy decisions and outlines the steps to take when undertaking impact analysis.
The Government’s Impact Analysis Framework helps policy makers develop the evidence base for well-informed decision making. The OIA is there to help through every stage of the policy development journey.
The new guide takes effect from March 1 2023 and is currently available on the OIA website. The release comes after the OIA was renamed last year from the Office of Best Practice Regulation.
