Victorian Guide to Regulation: A handbook for policy-makers in Victoria
Guide for developing impact assessments using evidence-based frameworks and best practice regulatory principles
The Victorian Guide to Regulation (the Guide) explains the Victorian Government’s approach and requirements for impact analysis. It is a practical resource to help policymakers develop high-quality regulatory proposals and impact assessments by outlining best-practice regulatory principles and a structured framework for policy development. Organised around seven key questions, the Guide supports policy advisers to define problems, identify and assess options, analyse impacts, plan implementation, and evaluate outcomes. It emphasises evidence-based analysis, stakeholder engagement, and continuous improvement, while supporting compliance with the Victorian Government’s legislative and policy requirements.
