The Australian Transport Safety Bureau (ATSB) is an independent
Commonwealth Government statutory Agency. The Bureau is governed 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 does not investigate for the purpose of apportioning
blame or to provide a means for determining liability.
