The Victorian Common Data Taxonomy is a structured way for regulators to organise information into categories and subcategories based on shared characteristics. It serves as a foundational tool to help regulators manage and structure their data in ways that promote improved information sharing and foster greater collaboration.
How this tool can help
The Victorian Common Data Taxonomy can help regulators identify which businesses are subject to oversight by which regulators and interpret data provided by other regulators with greater ease and consistency. This shared framework strengthens collaboration, reduces duplication, and supports a more coordinated regulatory environment. It can structure and manage their data about businesses to:
- share and interpret information and detect risks of harm more easily
- reduce information requests and administrative burden on business.
Support to apply this tool
Contact the Department of Treasury and Finance at reg.reform@dtf.vic.gov.au to ask questions or book a discussion about adopting the taxonomy.
