The 2025-26 National Compliance Plan is out now, with activities emphasising the importance of safety for domestic commercial vessels.
This year, the focus areas for domestic commercial vessels include: - Domestic vessel safety, including fatigue management, SMS implementation, lithium-ion battery risks, hazardous gases, and overboard incidents.
- Support for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander operators to strengthen SMS implementation and safe operations.
- Safe towing and flood operations for emergency service vessels.
- Joint inspections with WorkSafe targeting high-risk activities such as snorkelling and diving to improve safety outcomes.
The National Compliance Plan outlines our priorities and approach to help operators comply with their requirements under the law. |
