| Summary: | This information paper discusses the impact of the national regulatory reform on labour market mobility and interstate trade in goods since 1993. It finds that the scheme appears to be working reasonably well and has achieved its primary goal of removing many regulatory barriers to the movement of people in registered occupations, and to interstate trade in goods. It does not appear to have had siginificant unintended consequences. For occupations, the Office of Regulation Review (ORR) conducted a survey in 1995-96 of occupation registration agencies. This was the first time occupation registration agencies have been surveyed about the impact of mutual recognition. This survey found that there is considerable awareness about mutual recognition among such agencies and among people in registered occupations. There appears to have been a significant increase in mobility following the introduction of mutual recognition. In 1994-95 nearly 9000 people registered using mutual recognition, equal to 15 per cent of total occupation registration in that year. In addition, by June 1995 a total of 15,194 people had registered using the scheme. Mutual recognition has clearly contributed to the development of national standards for the registration of some occupations. Mutual recognition has put pressure on, or provided an opportunity for, some occupations such as lawyers and medical practitioners to move towards national standards. This ORR information paper provides a initial exploration of the impact of mutual recognition. More detailed research will be needed to fully assess the scheme.ix C 2./ñoØ |
