Welcome

Three abstract birds depict this year’s theme: a flock’s efficiency is improved when birds fly together in a V formation. We believe this behaviour can be applied to DMIRS in that we are more efficient when we work together. The colours of the birds represent our approach to maximise our impact as a regulator (purple), service provider (teal) and policy maker (red).

The Department of Mines, Industry Regulation and Safety is pleased to present its Annual Report for 2018–19.

We acknowledge the traditional owners throughout Western Australia and their continuing connection to the land, water and community. We pay our respects to all members of these Aboriginal communities, their culture, to elders both past and present and to their leaders into the future.

Coming together is a beginning,
keeping together is progress,
working together is success

Edward Everett Hale

Our 2017–18 annual report, our first report after the 2017 Machinery of Government changes, focused on the first part of this quote: coming together is a beginning.

One year on, the second part of the quote, keeping together is progress is indicative of our work in coming together and embarking on a process to harmonise our functions. Now the dust has started to settle, our focus has turned to collaboration across DMIRS in order to get our work done efficiently and effectively.

The third instalment in this series, the annual report for 2019-20 will focus on the final part of the quotation: working together is success.
