Australian Border Force Incoming Brief 2022
In March 2021, Comcare issued an Improvement Notice in relation to the work, health and safety (WHS) of sea-going officers, issues relating to mental health risk identification and management processes, and the cumulative effects of WHS incidents. Muru Management Consulting Pty Ltd (Muru) was engaged to conduct a risk assessment with a focus on psychosocial hazards and risks associated with the maritime workforce. The final Muru report was issued on 30 November 2021 and included 85 recommendations requiring implementation across both Home Affairs and the ABF. A phased implementation of the recommendations has commenced. Engagement with the marine workforce in relation to issues raised through Comcare is continuing through regular forums, health and safety representatives and the CPSU. The Department and ABF recently initiated the Marine Improvement Program focused on addressing issues in the Marine Workforce and supporting elements in a cohesive and collaborative manner. Home Affairs and ABF have committed resources to the program, which is expected to take between 12-18 months to implement.
