What are our goals?
The vision of a safe and healthy resources sector is supported by three key goals:
- world-leading regulation
- smarter systems
- well-informed industry
Each is built on core elements, that work together to achieve the overarching goal, and ultimately the Department's Towards 2020 vision.
