Australia's Aviation State Safety Programme and National Aviation Safety Plan

Australia's sixth edition of its Aviation State Safety Programme (SSP) and updates to the National Aviation Safety Plan (NASP) have been finalised following stakeholder consultation.

A summary of the issues raised by stakeholders during consultations and our responses are also provided.

The International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) requires each member State to implement a SSP to demonstrate its aviation safety systems and framework, in addition to a NASP outlining planned national level improvements to address identified aviation safety risks and enhance safety.

The SSP and NASP represent Australia's response to the Global Aviation Safety Plan (GASP) and the Asia Pacific Regional Aviation Safety Plan (AP-RASP), and importantly fulfil Australia's commitment to Annex 19—Safety standards requirements under the Convention on International Civil Aviation (Chicago Convention).

The SSP and NASP are reviewed every three years to align with the review and updating cycle of the GASP.
