We will begin with a brief overview of the RIS and LIA processes, and provide a theoretical framework for thinking about regulatory problems.
The rest of the course will apply that framework and approach to the "seven key questions" outlined in the Victorian Guide to Regulation, which must be considered in any RIS or LIA and are recommended as part of best-practice regulatory policy development.
Learning Outcomes
At the end of the course, you will have a better understanding of the key policy-making steps and tools for decision-making in a regulatory design setting.
You will be ready to prepare or to oversee a RIS or LIA for your Department or agency.
Intended Audience
This course is designed for all policy staff working on legislative or regulatory design issues, especially between the Officer and Manager levels.
It is strongly recommended for any staff who may be working on a RIS or LIA in the near future.
