Regulatory Regimes and Organised Crime: Consultation Paper

Regulatory regimes are laws, regulations, policies and instruments that govern the entry into and conduct within an industry. They include licensing, registration requirements and fit-and-proper-person tests.

The VLRC reviewed various lawful occupations and industries in Victoria and elsewhere:

•  to find out which regulatory regimes are effective
•  to develop principles for assessing the risk of organised crime infiltrating a lawful occupation or industry.

This consultation paper was published in June 2015.
