The Bill forms part of implementing the IPA/IDAS Reform Project which commenced in February 2006. The Bill retains the fundamental concepts of the IPA whilst attempting to address the some of the shortfalls of the IPA identified by key stakeholders during public consultation for the Reform Project.
