On 1 July 2009 the Australian Transport Safety Bureau (ATSB) became an independent Commonwealth Government statutory Agency. The Bureau is managed by a Commission and is entirely separate from transport regulators, policy makers and service providers.
The ATSB's function is to improve safety and public confidence in the aviation, marine and rail modes of transport through excellence in:
- independent investigation of transport accidents and other safety occurrences;
- safety data recording, analysis and research; and
- fostering safety awareness, knowledge and action.
The ATSB is established by the Transport Safety Investigation Act 2003 (TSI Act) and conducts its investigations in accordance with the provisions of the Act. Under the TSI Act, it is not a function of the ATSB to apportion blame or provide a means for determining liability. The ATSB does not investigate for the purpose of taking administrative, regulatory or criminal action.
The speech made by the Minister for Infrastructure, Transport, Regional Development and Local Government, the Hon Anthony Albanese, when he introduced the Bill into Parliament to make the ATSB a statutory Agency is available by clicking on the following link:Minister's Second Reading Speech.
