How was the review conducted?

The review was conducted in line with the terms of reference ( 93.9 KB) for the review. The TOR addresses the requirements of the Office of Best Practice Regulation described in the Queensland Government Guide to Better Regulation (2019).

The review was based on two phases of stakeholder engagement as described below.

Phase 1 (February to September 2020)

Consultation started in February 2020 and included targeted stakeholder engagement through structured interviews completed in September 2020. OCG asked directly affected stakeholders about their experiences and views on the roll-out of the SSRC Act and the effects on community, industry and government.

An online survey was also provided to all targeted stakeholders and the broader community in August 2020. Some stakeholders provided written submissions in lieu of, or in addition to, interview or survey responses. The OCG also requested data from relevant stakeholders to ensure the review is evidence-based, where possible.

Phase 2 (1 February 2021 to 30 April 2021)

The consultation report was released for a 12 week public notification period from 1 February 2021 to 30 April 2021. The consultation report was published on the Coordinator-General’s website and the Get Involved website.
