Appendix F: Performance reporting for the Road Safety Remuneration Tribunal for 2015–16

 

 

The Road Safety Remuneration Tribunal (RSRT), which was established under the Road Safety Remuneration Act 2012, was abolished on 21 April 2016 and ceased to perform any of its functions under that Act.

The RSRT was an independent national tribunal which had the objective of promoting safety and fairness in the road transport industry. Its primary functions included:

  • developing an annual work program
  • making road safety remuneration orders
  • dealing with certain disputes between road transport drivers, their employers or hirers, and participants in the supply chain
  • approval of road transport collective agreements
  • conducting research into pay and conditions that could affect safety in the road transport industry

The RSRT was funded through an appropriation to the Commission and its functions were supported by Commission staff, including in the areas of research, human resources, finance, communications and information technology.

The Commission's Portfolio Budget Statement 2015–16 included key performance indicators (KPIs) for the RSRT. This Appendix reports on performance against the 2015–16 Portfolio Budget Statement KPIs relating to the RSRT.
