Regulator Performance Framework

The Australian Government is committed to reducing the cost of unnecessary or inefficient regulation imposed on individuals, business and community organisations.

A Regulator Performance Framework was developed in late 2014 to support Australian Government regulators to measure and improve their performance. The Department undertakes an assessment of achievement against the Regulator Performance Framework indicators every year.

See the following assessment reports for the Coastal Trading (Revitalising Australian Shipping) Act 2012.
