2019–20 self-assessment

The Department of Agriculture, Water and the Environment was established on 1 February 2020.

2019-20 was the first-year reporting as a new department. it was agreed for the 2019-20 reporting year to publish an overall narrative on the work for the newly developed department.

Our new department was formed in the context of the world-wide COVID-19 pandemic, devastating bushfires and prevalent threats to our environment and agricultural industries, both at the border and domestically. These events have challenged us and the way we perform our role as a regulator in a way that enhances Australia’s agriculture, unique environment and heritage, and water resources.

We are a department comprised of different regulators and, through our 128 legislative instruments, collectively we interact with many sectors in the Australian economy. Whilst our primary focus is to deliver regulation in a manner relevant to shaping behaviour in each particular sector, we remain committed to bringing together our regulatory practices in the ongoing pursuit of better practice.

Our 2019-20 narrative gives a snapshot into the work of our regulators as we have been establishing our department and the framework for reporting against the Regulator Performance Framework in future years.
