Regulatory Impact Analysis Training
The Government’s Deregulation Agenda (previously known as the Regulatory Reform Agenda) is now administered by the Department of Jobs and Small Business. The Office of Best Practice Regulation (OBPR) which administers Regulatory Impact Analysis requirements remains within the Department of the Prime Minister and Cabinet. More information is available in the Administrative Arrangements Order introduced on 20 December 2017.
PM&C's Office of Best Practice Regulation (OBPR) has developed a massive open online course (MOOC) on regulatory impact analysis. The MOOC is designed to improve public servants’ abilities 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.
The OBPR conducts face-to-face training to assist agencies to prepare regulation impact statements and fulfil other regulatory review and reform obligations. This includes technical training for Australian Government officers on cost-benefit analysis and risk analysis. Contact the OBPR for further information.

- general seminars for officers in agencies
