Authorisation

The FRSC workshop on 12 February 2019, held in Melbourne, identified improved intelligence as a medium to longer term activity.

Status

In September 2019, the FRSC agreed on an integrated process to gather, collate, analyse and share intelligence.

The FRSC set up a working group to develop advice on the integrated process. The advice will include the actions required to implement a best-practice approach to support the system’s aims.

This work is currently on hold. We expect further advice in mid-2024.
