The Australian Transport Safety Bureau (ATSB) is an operationally independent bureau within the Australian Government’s Department of Infrastructure, Transport, Regional Development and Local Government. Under the Transport Safety Investigation Act 2003 (CTH) (TSI Act), the Executive Director of Transport Safety Investigation in the ATSB is responsible for the investigation of aviation, rail and marine transport safety matters (with some involvement in the area of road safety). The ATSB conducts independent investigations in accordance with ‘no-blame’ principles; unlike transport regulators, it seeks to positively influence transport safety by facilitating awareness and action in response to safety issues rather than by prescribing or enforcing safety solutions.
