Reducing red tape on business

While regulation is an important tool in achieving the Government's policy objectives, ensuring that no unnecessary burden is imposed on businesses and not-for-profit organisations is a key priority for the Victorian Government.

The Government is committed to ongoing Victorian leadership in regulatory reform and red tape reduction to enhance the productivity and competitiveness of the Victorian economy.
