What is Rules as Code?

Rules as Code turns legislation, regulation and policy into machine-readable code. Agencies can use it to automate eligibility checks, compliance decisions and benefits calculations, and more. The result is greater consistency, less manual interpretation, and faster responses to policy change.

Rules as Code can also be used for policy modelling, through all stages of the policy lifecycle. See our piece What if Australia’s Budget tax changes were modelled as code? as an example.
