Expected delays due to Tropical Cyclone Alfred

Australia Post has closed multiple post offices across south-east Queensland and northern New South Wales and have temporarily paused delivery services across these areas.  This will cause delays in the dispatch and delivery of AMSA issued documents such as seafarer certificates.

The National Compliance Plan gives our regulated communities and compliance partners insight into the compliance areas we will focus our efforts on during 2024-25. Outlining our priorities in advance will allow industry the opportunity to review their operations to ensure compliance with relevant legislation.

Our commitment is for a consistent, intelligence-led, and risk-based approach that underpins our compliance activities and allows for better collaboration. Our compliance program is informed by safety data and trends to ensure we focus on what matters and encourage voluntary compliance and continuous improvement, leading to improved safety outcomes.

We will be open, transparent, and accountable for our actions. We will report on our regulatory performance and where we have adjusted our focus, we will explain our reasons in the National Compliance Plan.

Detailed compliance performance reporting can be found in the following annual reports.

  • Inspections annual report
  • Maritime Labour Convention annual report
  • Marine Incidents annual report
