The regulation of industry ensures that aircraft tasked by AMSA are meeting regulatory requirements, which supports operational risk management for responses, and accordingly the corporate risk that AMSA may be exposed to. AMSA is responsible for delivering Australia's commitment to International Civil Aviation Authority's (ICAO) Annex 12 (Search and Rescue), and works with CASA and other aviation agencies to ensure a co-ordinated approach.

This action is identified in the National Waste Action Plan and supports Australia's National Waste Plan to reduce landfill and increase the circular economy.
