With oversight of rail safety across Australia, the Office of the National Rail Safety Regulator (ONRSR) deals with a myriad of safety concerns every single day - but few, if any, have drawn the national watchdog’s sustained focus like that of track worker safety.

Memoranda of Understanding (MoUs) support ONRSR’s work with other agencies by recognising the roles of parties and facilitating coordination to improve regulatory efficiency and effectiveness.

In 2025 ONRSR is hosting a renewed series of forums with various rail safety stakeholders.

Chaired by Peter Doggett, Chief Operating Officer, the monthly NOC meeting, attended by all ONRSR General Managers as well as other key managers provides a key means of achieving national uniformity and consistency in operational matters across the country.
