In progressing the review to date, ONRSR has engaged with key stakeholders including a reference group comprising members from industry, ARA, RTBU and governments.
ONRSR has now released a discussion paper as part of the review that is open to all stakeholders for comment from Wednesday 30 May to Tuesday 31 July 2018.
The discussion paper will be the focus of workshops across Australia and ONRSR encourages you to attend and provide input to the progression of the review.
The reference group has agreed terms of reference for the review.
