As established by the Transport Safety Investigation Act 2003, the ATSB is an independent Commonwealth Government statutory agency, reporting to the Minister for Infrastructure, Transport, Regional Development and Local Government.
The ATSB complies with the Order of Continuing Effect – Indexed lists of departmental and agency files (known more often as 'the Harradine Report', as the order was instigated by then Senator Harradine in 1996).
This Senate Order requires that an indexed list of all files, created in the central offices of all Federal Government agencies, be published to the Internet, so it is accessible to the public and can assist with Freedom of Information requests.
Reforms to the Freedom of Information Act 1982 (the FOI Act) and the passage of the Australian Information Commissioner Act 2010 introduced fundamental changes to the way information held by government is managed and accessed by members of the public. The changes took effect from 1 November 2010, with the exception of the information publication scheme requirements, which commenced on 1 May 2011.
