OLDP Course for instructors
The OLDP Course for Instructors is currently being reviewed. Information about new course dates and related information will be published on this webpage as soon as it is available.
The OLDP Course for Instructors is a one day course offered by OLDP to any Commonwealth agency that is involved in developing regulations and other instruments.
The course provides participants with information and skills to engage effectively in a drafting process that results in high quality, legally effective, plain English regulations and instruments that give effect to the Government’s policy while complying with relevant legislation and broader Commonwealth policies.
The course does not teach participants how to draft instruments. The course is designed for people who are involved in giving drafting instructions for legislative instruments, policy staff and instructors.
The course covers:
- the different kinds of instruments and rule makers
- basic features of Acts and instruments
- Acts of general application
- Senate Standing Committee on Regulations and Ordinances
- the role of the instructor
- providing drafting instructions
- the role of the drafter
- finalising a legislative instrument, and
- disallowance.
The course is presented by experienced OLDP drafters. It includes information sessions, group discussions, and activities. Participants receive comprehensive course materials that provide a useful reference tool for applying the information and skills learnt back in the workplace.
Morning tea, lunch and afternoon tea are provided.
Parking is free.
