Release of Draft 2021 Aviation State Safety Programme (SSP) and 2021 National Aviation Safety Plan (NASP)

The Department of Infrastructure, Transport, Regional Development and Communications in consultation with other Australian Government aviation agencies, has reviewed and updated Australia’s existing State Safety Programme (SSP), which was published in May 2016, having regard to the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) 2020-22 Global Aviation Safety Plan and ICAO Annex 19 - Safety Management.

The updated SSP will continue to provide high level policy directions and outline Australia’s strategic intent in relation to continuing to achieve a high level of safety in our national aviation system, while the inaugural NASP is more operationally focussed and identifies specific critical areas of safety focus and initiatives to be pursued by aviation agencies in cooperation with industry over the next triennium.
Both proposed draft documents are closely linked and consistent with the ICAO global aviation safety framework. Both documents are also proposed for regular review. The NASP will be reviewed and updated annually and the SSP will be reviewed on a triennial basis to reflect their respective operational and higher level strategic focus.

The Department is now seeking public and industry stakeholder comments on the draft SSP and NASP. Comments will be accepted until 5:30pm AEST Friday 14 May 2021.

Now remember that in 2016 Murky released HIS version of the SSP under the cover of Tamworth and therefore avoided pretty much any constructive or expert input from the industry. In fact I can't even remember if there was a proper consultation process with industry? 

So here's a chance for industry to be actively involved with a new regime (under Secretary Atkinson) in setting government aviation safety policy for the foreseeable future -
