against the six KPIs with their responsible Minister, in consultation with stakeholders. For example, the Australian Radiation Protection and Nuclear Safety Agency, which has a licencing scheme, includes a metric for feedback from licence holders under KPI 6, whereas the National Industrial Chemicals Notification and Assessment Scheme, which is part of a broader forum of health regulators, includes its interaction with the Department of Health Regulators Forum under the same KPI. Around 80 National Government regulators are currently subject to the RPF. The guidance currently provided to regulators to comply with the RPF are to: develop performance metrics against each KPI in consultation with stakeholders, have them approved by the Minister and then publish them; undertake a self-assessment annually against these regulator-specific metrics and have the assessment externally validated by a stakeholder consultation mechanism agreed with the relevant Minister – usually through a Ministerial Advisory Council (MAC); and ensure self-assessments are certified by the relevant authority and published as soon as possible following the end of the relevant assessment period, and preferably no later than 31 December each year, six months after the conclusion of the reporting period. The full RPF process is summarised in Figure 4.
