Regulatory Impact Statements

Regulatory Impact Statements (RIS) are prepared for new or amending regulations as required under the Subordinate Legislation Act 1994 (Vic). The purpose of the RIS process is to ensure that:

  • regulation is only implemented when there is a justified need
  • only the most efficient forms of regulation are adopted
  • there is an adequate level of public consultation in the development of regulatory measures.

Before release, RISs are independently assessed for adequacy by the Victorian Competition and Efficiency Commission.

DPI Regulatory Impact Statements since 1 July 2008

You can find below all RISs prepared by DPI since 2008, along with assessment letters.
