Reducing red tape in the APS

This MAC report sets out a framework to help drive that change in the APS’s thinking and approach to administrative process. It includes basic principles for scrutinising proposed and existing regulatory and administrative measures, how they can be designed to impose least cost and how they can be managed effectively once they are in place. It suggests approaches to ensuring that processes do not become redundant, ineffective or inappropriate over time.
