The Office of Best Practice Regulation’s Graduate Virtual Experience null

What is this?

Welcome to The Office of Best Practice Regulation’s Graduate Virtual Experience.

The Office of Best Practice Regulation (OBPR) works to ensure new proposals coming forward to Government for decision are supported by the best possible evidence and analysis.

Their role is to work with departments and agencies to produce detailed, evidence-based assessments of complex policy issues. They coach them through the impact analysis process, which includes analysing the pros and cons of multiple policy options to best address the policy problem at hand. Ultimately, their focus is on the quality of the evidence and analysis.
