New Permissions Framework driving reform 1 year on

Since its introduction in 2023, the Victorian Permissions Framework has proven a great resource across Victorian departments and regulators.

With several hundred downloads already, it’s clear that the framework has been widely adopted – stimulating fresh perspectives and supporting reform across portfolios.

Now we want to build on this momentum and support agencies to reform licences, permits and other permissions.

There are many benefits to reform for both agencies and businesses. The framework can help simplify processes for businesses, streamline regulatory operations and manage risks effectively.

We‘re here to help by:

• advising on how to apply the framework to specific situations
• holding workshops to discuss issues and identify solutions for significant reform opportunities.

We can support you with a range of scenarios, including:

• advising you throughout the Cabinet process for submissions that modify or introduce new permissions
• addressing stakeholder feedback about your permissions
• answering questions, such as how to determine the appropriate type of permission.
