Queensland Office for Regulatory Efficiency

For further information

The Queensland Office for Regulatory Efficiency (QORE) leads a program of regulatory reform, designed to increase the productivity and competitiveness of Queensland, and to enhance the attractiveness of Queensland to individuals and business investment.

The Smart Regulation reform agenda seeks to get the balance right between the benefits and costs of regulation, and to reduce regulatory burden in order to give time and money back to individuals, business and government to invest in innovation, productivity and economic growth.

The Smart Regulation reform agenda consists of commitments and activities at the federal (via the Council of Australian Governments (COAG)) and state levels, as well as proposed initiatives based on national and international best practice models to achieve sustainable reductions in the regulatory burden.

Commonwealth Office of Best Practice Regulation (OBPR)

The Office of Best Practice Regulation (OBPR), within the Commonwealth Department of Finance and Deregulation, plays a central role in assisting Commonwealth Government agencies to meet their requirements for best practice regulatory impact analysis and in monitoring and reporting on their performance.

The OBPR also serves a similar role for the Council of Australian Governments (COAG) in relation to national regulatory proposals considered by ministerial councils, national standard setting bodies or COAG itself.
