I’m pleased to present our annual report for 2023–24. It showcases the dedication and commitment shown by DEMIRS staff to deliver benefits for Western Australia, both now and into the future.

The Department of Energy, Mines, Industry Regulation and Safety (DEMIRS) offers three exciting graduate programs to kickstart your career in the public sector.

DEMIRS graduate program

DEMIRS offers a comprehensive and award winning 18-month graduate program that equips graduates with the essential skills, experience, and networks needed for a successful career in the Western Australian public sector. 

The department’s Aboriginal Procurement Strategy supports whole-of-WA-Government targets for awarding contracts to registered Aboriginal businesses under the Aboriginal Procurement Policy (APP).

The DEMIRS Customer Service Charter sets out our service commitments to our customers, so you know what you can expect from our department with regards to staff interactions, information, services, privacy and security, confidentiality and giving feedback.

It is always a pleasure to acknowledge the hard work and commitment of DMIRS staff. 

Together we have progressed and achieved many goals for a busy 2022–23 and I continue to be proud of the work we are doing to bring positive outcomes for the State and the people in the community. 

DEMIRS was one of the first agencies to participate in the Public Sector Commission’s Agency Capability Review program.

The review examined the structures, processes, resource use, systems and governance we have in place to help us better understand where we are doing well and where we need to focus more effort.

DEMIRS is committed to fostering a workplace where diverse backgrounds, abilities and experiences of our staff and communities are understood, embraced and celebrated.

We believe that creating a culture where diversity and inclusion is at the forefront of everything we do, will support our people to thrive at work.

Everyone should feel safe to be themselves at work and empowered to contribute their unique perspectives and skills, with opportunities to develop their capability and progress their careers.

This Statement provides guidance about what contractors, subcontractors and suppliers can expect when conducting business with the Department of Energy, Mines, Industry Regulation and Safety (DEMIRS), and the ethical standards we apply. It also sets out our expectations of those who do business with us. 

The mission of DEMIRS is to support a safe, fair and responsible future for the Western Australian community, industry, energy and resources sector.
