Compliance and enforcement approach

Our compliance and enforcement approach sets out the principles that underpin the Resources Regulator’s compliance and enforcement processes and regulatory actions and forms part of our risk-based and outcomes-focused approach to compliance and enforcement. It gives guidance on the high-level compliance expectations, enforcement processes and regulatory methods that we will use to ensure that obligations under the legislation that we administer are met.

We produce and share reports on our activities in order to:

• ensure a consistent and responsive regulatory approach
• provide increased transparency and confidence in our compliance and enforcement activities
• promote voluntary compliance by industry

The principles that underpin the Resources Regulator’s compliance and enforcement processes and regulatory actions are provided in our Compliance and enforcement approach. (PDF, 463.3 KB)
