Maritime Labour Convention Regulation Impact Statement – Department of Education, Employment and Workplace Relations, in association with the Department of Infrastructure and Transport, and the Australian Maritime Safety Authority.

On 24 November 2010, the International Labour Organisation (ILO) Maritime Labour Convention 2006 (No. 186) was tabled in Parliament. The Maritime Labour Convention sets minimum requirements for seafarers to work on ships, conditions of employment, access to accommodation, recreational facilities, food and catering, and access to medical care. The Convention is estimated to apply to approximately 100 Australian registered ships. The RIS has been approved by the OBPR.
