1. Overview

This instrument is the Statement of Expectations for Airservices Australia for the period 1 July 2023 to 30 June 2025.

This Statement of Expectations (SoE) applies from 1 July 2023 until 30 June 2025, and replaces the SoE issued on 21 June 2021.

This SoE serves as a notice to Airservices Australia (Airservices) under section 17 of the Air Services Act 1995 (the Act) and sets out my expectations for Airservices' appropriate strategic direction and the manner in which Airservices should perform its functions.

2. Governance

I expect the Board and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Airservices to ensure Airservices has the necessary resources and capabilities in place:

(a) to effectively manage Airservices' strategic direction, risks, corporate planning in accordance with section 21 of the Act, and (b) to provide Air Traffic Services and Aviation Rescue Fire Fighting Services to the service level articulated in this SoE.

I expect the CEO to be responsible for managing the operations of Airservices, its organisational capacity and the exercise of its functions in accordance with section 35 of the Act.

I expect Airservices to keep the Department of Infrastructure, Transport, Regional Development, Communications and the Arts (the Department) and myself informed of Airservices' actions in relation to the requirements of this SoE, and to promptly consult on any risks, events or issues that may materially impact upon Airservices.
