Plain English Summary

3/10 complexity

The Minister has re‑made a declaration under the Occupational Health and Safety (Maritime Industry) Act that repeals the 2015 declaration and narrows which vessels are "prescribed ships or units": vessels engaged solely in intra‑state trade are excluded, except for those falling within subsections 6(3) or 6(3A). It takes effect the day after registration. Primary impact: owners/operators of intra‑state‑only vessels cease to be covered by the Commonwealth prescription (and its attached duties/requirements).
