As announced by the Prime Minister in August 2014, the objective of the Family Test is to introduce an explicit family perspective to the policy making process, and ensure that potential impacts on family relationships are recognised in the process of developing new policy.

The Treasury carefully considers all relevant obligations, including the family test, when formulating all policies including those delivered through primary and secondary legislation.
