Consultation draft now open for public comment
July 2025 marks the halfway point of the Australian Water Safety Strategy 2030. This provides an opportunity to critically assess progress to date, examine whether the Strategy continues to reflect the right priorities, and identify where greater focus and attention are needed.
A consultation draft containing core content to be included in the AWSS 2025 Update was released for review and feedback at the 2025 National Water Safety Summit in Sydney on July 24th and 25th, 2025. The Summit Agenda was designed as an engagement mechanism for consultation on the content of this document, and further feedback may be provided using the form below. Some adjustments may be made based on the discussions, learnings and outcomes form the Summit and feedback provided online.
The comment period for online consultation will close on August 17th, 2025.
The 2025 AWSS Update will be finalised and launched before the end of Summer 2025/2026.
