Communication with stakeholders is an essential part of developing the CRIS, with adherence to AMSA’s Statement of Regulatory Approach.
AMSA published a consultative CRIS on its website and invited specific industry groups and participants to comment on its cost recovery arrangements – other groups, owners and operators, and the public were also able to respond. The consultation was over a three-week period, commencing on 29 May 2023 and closing on 18 June 2023.
Industry groups invited to provide feedback included:
- National Safety Committee
- Shipping Consultative Forum
No responses were received. This was expected given engagement with industry by the Panel of the Independent Review of Australia’s Domestic Commercial Vessel Safety currently underway.
A report detailing all feedback received from stakeholders on CRIS consultations over previous financial years PDF231.36 KB, including our responses, is published on our website. This feedback will inform AMSA to potential future funding options that may be eventually considered by the Australian Government.
