- Publication of regulator Statement of Expectations and the responding Statement of Intent promotes transparency and accountability which is important because high-quality regulation is important for the protection and proper functioning of the economy, society and the environment.
- Policy owners are stewards of that policy. In accordance with the Australian Public Service value of stewardship, this means that policy owners must accept the responsibility of stewardship, including planning for, monitoring and advising on adapting the policy for which they are accountable. Stewardship of a policy includes working with system partners; anticipating how changes in the environment and institutional settings across government can affect implementation; understanding the long-term impacts of the policy; and working to ensure the policy’s ongoing effectiveness.
