The Freedom of Information Act 1982 (FOI Act) requires Australian Government agencies to make available information about their organisation, functions and operations, and about rules and practices used in making decisions which affect members of the public.
This functional statement is published to meet the requirements of section 8 of the FOI Act. Further information on the organisation, as well as the powers and functions of CASA is at Part 1 and Part 3 of this report.
Section 9 of the Civil Aviation Act 1988 provides that CASA has the function of conducting the safety regulation of civil air operations in Australian territory and the operation of Australian aircraft outside Australian territory in accordance with the Civil Aviation Act 1988 and regulations made under the Act. CASA also has other safety related functions, including encouraging a greater acceptance by the aviation industry of its obligation to maintain high standards of aviation safety.
Under section 15 of the FOI Act, any person is entitled to apply for access to documents that fall within the scope of the Act.
A request under the FOI Act should be in writing, accompanied by a $30 application fee and stating an address in Australia to which notices under the Act can be sent. In certain circumstances the fee is not required or can be remitted. For a quick response, give as much information as possible about the document/s sought. It is advisable also to include a telephone number in case clarification is necessary.
Requests under the FOI Act for access to documents in CASA’s possession should be directed to:
Subsection 9(2) of the Civil Aviation Act 1988 provides that one of CASA’s functions is to promote full and effective consultation and communication with all interested parties on aviation safety issues. Section 16 of the Act provides that in the performance of its functions and the exercise of its powers, CASA must, where appropriate, consult with government, commercial, industrial, consumer and other relevant bodies and organisations (including the ICAO and bodies representing the aviation industry).
The Aviation Safety Forum is a special consultative body helping the aviation community and CASA work effectively together to improve aviation safety in Australia. The Aviation Safety Forum advises CASA on important strategic issues.
The CASA Standards Consultative Committee is a joint CASA–industry forum, set up to involve the aviation industry formally during the development phase of regulatory material. The committee brings together CASA staff and representatives from a diverse range of aviation industry organisations to work jointly during the development phase of regulatory material. The committee examines proposed regulatory changes to determine if they are worth pursuing and helps CASA allocate priorities to those projects.
In accordance with section 9 of the FOI Act, CASA maintains a list of manuals and other documents that CASA officers use as a guide to procedures and practices to be followed when making decisions or recommendations that affect the public.
CASA officers use the following documents in making decisions or recommendations under, or for the purpose of, the Civil Aviation Act 1988.
