Foreword
Australia is acquiring a fleet of conventionally-armed, nuclear-powered submarines (SSNs), through the AUKUS trilateral partnership between Australia, the United Kingdom (UK) and the United States (US), to secure our economic connection and contribute to the security and stability in the Indo-Pacific region. Australia is regulating its SSNs to ensure the highest standards of nuclear safety and radiological protection for the environment and people.
This inaugural corporate plan marks a significant milestone in the ANNPSR’s journey. The Nuclear Powered Submarine Regulatory Design team within the Department of Defence (Defence) was created following the government announcement in May 2023 that it would create an independent, specialised and dedicated regulator. We have grown into an organisation with a committed, skilled and diverse Commonwealth workforce who has worked in close collaboration with our industry partners and a broad spectrum of stakeholders to stand up the ANNPSR on 1 November 2025.
Our objectives are to protect the environment and people by providing assurance for nuclear safety of Australia’s NPS Program, as well as to promote, monitor and enforce compliance with the Australian Naval Nuclear Power Safety Act 2024 (ANNPS Act).
We have the functions and powers to regulate the unique circumstances associated with nuclear safety and radiological protection across the lifecycle of Australia’s NPS enterprise, including associated infrastructure and facilities.
ANNPSR is independent of the Australian Defence Force’s chain of command and directions from the Defence. We will work closely with existing Australian and AUKUS peer regulators to support the safety of our submariners, Australian and international communities and the environment.
Looking ahead, we are deeply committed to serving the community as an independent statutory Agency, invested with the responsibility of providing trusted regulatory services.

1.0 Introduction
Statement of preparation
As the Accountable Authority of the ANNPSR, I present the 2025-26 ANNPSR Corporate plan, which covers the periods 2025-26 to 2028-29, as required under section 35(1)(b) of the Public, Governance, Performance and Accountability Act 2013 (PGPA Act) and in accordance with section 16(E) of the Public Governance, Performance and Accountability Rule 2014.
Mr Michael Drake | Director-General ANNPSR
Our purpose
The ANNPS Act established a new regulatory framework to ensure nuclear safety within Australia’s conventionally-armed, NPS enterprise and capability lifecycle. The objects of the ANNPS Act are to:
- promote the nuclear safety of activities relating to AUKUS submarines
- promote public confidence and trust in relation to the nuclear safety of Australia’s NPS enterprise
- promote the defence and interests of Australia
- support the AUKUS partnership.
ANNPSR was established on 1 November 2025 and is key to achieving objects of the ANNPS Act. Our objectives are to protect the environment and people by providing assurance for nuclear safety of Australia’s NPS Program, as well as promote, monitor and enforce compliance with the ANNPS Act.
| Vision | Mission |
|---|---|
| To be a trusted regulator for Australia’s nuclear-powered submarines. | To protect the environment and people by providing assurance of nuclear safety of Australia’s NPS Program, while supporting Australia’s defence interests and the AUKUS partnership. |
Regulatory functions
ANNPSR executes its regulatory obligations through the following core functions:
- Develop and maintain policy and regulation related to naval nuclear power. ANNPSR is responsible for regulating facility, material and submarine activities that occur in a designated zone or Australian submarine.
- Provide ongoing education internally and to the community. Education and engagement are the core means of supporting ANNPSR promotion obligations.
- Conduct licensing for regulated activities. The conduct of a regulated activity requires the issue of a licence by ANNPSR.
- Conduct ongoing monitoring and compliance activities. ANNPSR is responsible for conducting monitoring and compliance activities to identify risks, issues and non-compliances with regulatory requirements.
- Investigation and enforcement. ANNPSR is responsible for investigating and taking regulatory action in response to nuclear safety matters and incidents.
Execution of these functions is underpinned by key business support and legal counsel enablers.
Ministerial Statement of Expectations and ANNPSR Statement of Intent
The Ministerial Statement of Expectations was issued to Director-General (DG) ANNPSR on 28 January 2026. DG ANNPSR’s responding Statement of Intent was issued on 28 April 2026.
Relevant elements of both documents are embodied within this corporate plan, which follows the government’s principles of regulator best practice as detailed in Regulator Performance (Resource Management Guide (RMG) 128). While ANNPSR is at the start of the regulator lifecycle, the performance of regulatory functions and development of amending or new regulations will embrace the regulatory reform agenda set by the government to improve the quality and efficiency of Australia’s regulatory system, acknowledging that nuclear safety remains paramount.
Regulatory approach
The ANNPSR takes a graded (risk-based) regulatory approach in a way that the degree of implementation of regulatory requirements corresponds to the associated nuclear and radiological safety risk. The higher the risk associated with an activity, the more stringent the regulatory requirements will be. In doing so, the approach will contribute to the optimisation of resources and increase the efficiency and effectiveness of the regulatory control. As a responsive regulator, we will tailor our enforcement approach to the specific context, behaviour, and willingness of a regulated entity to proactively comply with regulations. This approach moves beyond rigid enforcement methods to achieve maximum proactive compliance.
Regulatory posture
We align with international best practice for nuclear safety and radiological protection, leverage our AUKUS partners’ experience, and adapt it to the Australian regulatory context.
We work collaboratively towards national uniformity, where appropriate, across the Commonwealth, state and territory radiological, nuclear and environmental requirements.
We apply a graded (risk-based) regulatory approach, employing both prescriptive and outcomes-based regulation, to achieve nuclear safety outcomes.
Given the uniqueness of both the operating environment and the military application, we will be an engaged and proactive regulator to achieve our vision and mission.
2.0 Key activities
NPS Optimal Pathway and ANNPSR capability target states
The AUKUS Optimal Pathway is a phased approach for Australia to acquire SSNs by the early 2030s.
| Phase 1 | Phase 2 | Phase 3 |
|---|---|---|
| Becoming ‘Sovereign Ready’ involves more frequent and longer visits to the HMAS Stirling by US SSNs, as well as UK SSNs from 2026, to help build Australia’s workforce and infrastructure. | Australia’s acquisition of Virginia Class submarines. Acquisition of three Virginia Class submarines (with the option to seek approval for up to two more if required) from the early 2030s. | SSN-AUKUS. SSN-AUKUS is a trilaterally developed SSN based on the UK’s next generation design that incorporates technology from all three nations. Australia will begin building its first SSN-AUKUS in the NPS construction yard in Osborne, South Australia, by the end of this decade. |
| ANNPSR capability target states have been established to describe the steps in growth and maturation of our regulatory organisation, over time, from establishment through to achieving full operational capability. These states are aligned to the Optimal Pathway. | ||
Our key activities
ANNPSR’s regulatory role will significantly evolve in scope and complexity over the next 10 years, commensurate with the execution of the Optimal Pathway. In support of achieving our purposes and effectively executing our functions, ANNPSR is focused on the following significant programs of work
over the entire reporting period.
- Develop and maintain a healthy nuclear safety culture within the Regulator. A strong and intentional nuclear safety culture within the regulator underpins everything we do. As a new and developing regulator it lays the foundations for how we influence and shape behaviours of the regulated community. Our culture promotes a holistic approach to independent assurance, encourages open communication, and establishes behavioural norms that are similarly expected by the naval nuclear community. Developing our culture will be achieved through a range of activities including:
- safety awareness and training for all staff
- development and execution of an agency nuclear safety culture training program
- conduct of safety culture pulse surveys.
- Develop, support and maintain a regulatory framework, and provide operational guidance. ANNPSR will maintain and advance the ANNPS Regulations to respond to learnings and new requirements in the Optimal Pathway. This includes the development of additional regulatory framework material to support the understanding of the regulated community.
- Conduct effective regulatory action. ANNPSR has regulatory obligations from the stand up of the Agency, notably licensing, monitoring and enforcing compliance with the legislative framework. The ANNSPR focus will include:
- developing and executing regulatory inspection programs for licence holders
- supporting and reviewing licence applications including those for the Osborne NPS construction yard and for activities within the Stirling designated zone.
- Promote public confidence and trust in the Regulator. Public trust in ANNPSR is essential to our independence, legitimacy and role in supporting the NPS enterprise. ANNPSR will:
- actively schedule engagement activities with the regulated community and key stakeholders, while remaining agile to emergent needs
- adhere to best practice in responding to public inquiries
- publish relevant information on our website to support transparency with the regulated community and general public.
- Support the AUKUS partnership. ANNPSR will assure nuclear safety aligned with the Optimal Pathway. This will include:
- regular engagement with AUKUS peer regulators to maintain confidence, and maximise leverage of AUKUS partner nuclear safety assurance activities
- building up ANNPSR regulatory competence and capacity that is aligned with Australia’s NPS Program.
- Increase and sustain the capability, capacity and expertise of the ANNPSR. ANNPSR is looking to grow a sustainable and capable regulator through:
- implementing and maturing internal controls and governance arrangements
- a structured workforce development program to increase workforce capacity and nuclear competence
- supplementing capability with specialist technical and scientific support services.
3.0 Operating context
Environment
In the global context, Australia is facing increasing competition economically, militarily, strategically and diplomatically. In response, the 2024 and 2026 National Defence Strategy outlines the pursuit of enhanced capabilities to deter threats to Australia’s national security and regional stability. The acquisition of a fleet of SSNs through the AUKUS partnership was one of the six priorities identified for immediate action in the 2023 Defence Strategic Review.
To safely steward naval nuclear propulsion technology in Australia, the Australian Government is committed to upholding the principles and standards that have underpinned the US and UK naval nuclear propulsion programs’ unmatched safety records. A key element of this commitment has been the decision to establish a statutory independent regulator to ensure the highest standards of nuclear safety and radiological protection for Australia’s NPS Program.
ANNPSR has a number of regulatory interfaces with other domestic regulators across Defence, the Commonwealth, states and territories spanning radiological, nuclear, safety and environmental requirements. These include the Australian Radiation Protection and Nuclear Safety Agency (ARPANSA), the Australian Safeguards and Non-Proliferation Office, and the Defence Seaworthiness regulatory authorities. ANNPSR will continue to coordinate with these domestic regulators with a view to national uniformity, where appropriate.
In establishing a new organisation and aligning with international best practice, the opportunity arises to leverage the safety regulatory experience of our AUKUS partners, who have been safely operating nuclear-powered vessels for more than 50 years, and adapting it to our unique Australian context.
The public consultation on draft ANNPS regulations in July 2025 included feedback related to radiological safety of people and the environment, transparency of environmental monitoring and reporting, and safety incident reporting and emergency response. As Australia moves forward with the NPS Program, building public trust and securing a social licence to operate is of paramount importance. A key aspect of this endeavour is to increase the broader community’s understanding of nuclear technologies and safety to assist with informing concerns regarding nuclear safety and any perceived environmental impacts. This presents both a challenge and an opportunity for ANNPSR.
Capability
Workforce capability. ANNPSR has been designed to be a small independent statutory regulator employing around 125 people at maturity in 2031-32, and will continue to grow its Australian Public Service (APS) and Australian Defence Force workforce. Contracted support currently supplements our workforce, which will decrease over the reporting period as we implement a structured approach to strengthen staff nuclear, regulatory and business skills. In support of regulatory obligations, technical and scientific support is provided by a centralised ARPANSA specialist capability that supports common needs for both regulators. Collectively this approach to ANNPSR’s workforce capability aims to develop specialist nuclear and regulatory skills within the APS workforce, cognisant of a constrained nuclear workforce and very small industry sector in Australia.
ANNPSR is committed to developing its workforce within a healthy nuclear safety culture, underpinned by behaviours of: individual responsibility; staff development; safety advocacy; a questioning attitude; evidence based decision-making; open communication; and a respectful work environment.
Infrastructure capability. ANNPSR staff are primarily located within Defence managed facilities provided under a shared service arrangement, at Brindabella Business Park in Canberra and at two regional offices in Adelaide, South Australia and near Perth in Western Australia. There are no appreciable facilities expenditure or work forecast in the period of the corporate plan to support ANNPSR activities.
Information and Communications Technology (ICT) capability. ANNPSR receives the majority of its ICT services from Defence through a shared service arrangement. This also includes cyber security services to ensure that information systems and ICT capabilities used to deliver ANNPSR objectives are secure.
Risk oversight and management
ANNPSR’s approach to risk management. ANNPSR’s approach to risk management is aligned with the international standard for risk management, ISO 31000:2018, and Commonwealth Risk Management Policy (CRMP 2013). ANNPSR manages a range of risks, broadly grouped as either nuclear safety risks – the risks related to naval nuclear power activities for which ANNPSR regulates; or ANNPSR business risks – the risks that directly affect the achievement of ANNPSR strategic objectives or business functions. ANNPSR has developed a risk management framework, employing a centralised register to support implementation of the risk management process.
Risk oversight and assurance. ANNSPR risks are overseen through:
- Risk register. Risk owners are responsible for monitoring risks, effectiveness of controls, reporting and escalation when necessary.
- Performance monitoring. ANNPSR has a performance and measures system which measures, evaluates, and reports on the performance of ANNPSR’s end-to-end operations, including risk management.
- Internal review. Internal review of notable risks or those requiring escalation are integrated into internal ANNPSR governance meetings.
- Executive Committee and Audit and Risk Committee. The Executive Committee, chaired by the DG, oversees strategic planning, performance and risk for ANNPSR. This is complemented with an external and independent Audit and Risk Committee, which reviews the system of risk oversight and management, and system of internal control.
Key risks
ANNPSR has identified six key risks aligned with our purposes and key activities, and how they will be managed. Our risk appetite and tolerance assessment of these risks will be reflected in future corporate plans.
| Key risk | Key activity | Management strategies |
|---|---|---|
| 1. ANNPSR is an ineffective regulator A significant nuclear safety incident or accident is attributed to ANNPSR’s inability to adequately influence the nuclear safety behaviours of the regulated community. |
2, 3, 5 |
Structured development of regulatory material, in consultation with the regulated and broader community. Execution of a graded regulatory approach and posture aligned with the International Atomic Energy Agency’s recommended approach, and compatible with the regulatory approaches of our AUKUS partners. Conduct of scheduled monitoring and compliance programs. |
| 2. ANNPSR fails to maintain a safe work environment ANNPSR does not meet its Work Health and Safety (WHS) obligations by not protecting its workers and other persons against harm to their health, safety or welfare leading to loss of life or serious injury or illness. |
1 |
WHS policies, management plans and processes, supplemented with employee wellbeing programs to ensure physical and psychosocial safety of our people in the workplace. Continuous identification, assessment and treatment of safety risks, including enabling escalation of safety risks through the risk management framework. |
| 3. ANNPSR’s internal systems of control are ineffective ANNPSR fails to comply with legislative requirements of a non-corporate government entity. |
4, 6 |
Internal controls are structured around documented processes underpinned by organisational policies and frameworks. This includes Accountable Authority Instructions, policies and procedures, human resources and payroll processing, governance, compliance and assurance reporting frameworks, systems of risk and oversight, document control and assurance processes, review of non-financial performance measures, and training programs. |
| 4. ANNPSR’s organisational capability is not aligned to meet regulatory delivery requirements ANNPSR’s capacity, technical skills and experience, management systems and processes are not adequate to address Optimal Pathway delivery requirements. |
5, 6 |
Actively monitored and managed workforce development program complemented with external support arrangements for additional capacity / niche skills. Continual regulatory liaison and engagement with AUKUS partners and the regulated community to ensure alignment of regulatory maturity with key Optimal Pathway milestones and activities. Dedicated project management discipline across the agency to manage concurrent regulatory development activities. Prioritised development of core regulatory plans, processes and integrated management systems to support regulatory and enabler functions. |
| 5. ANNPSR fails to recruit, retain and support a skilled nuclear workforce ANNPSR fails to grow a skilled nuclear workforce in the context of domestic and global shortages of nuclear skilled, qualified and experienced persons. |
6 |
ANNPSR offers an attractive employee value proposition, including tailored training and professional development opportunities and options for flexible work arrangements. Utilisation of external support arrangements for niche nuclear and radiological skills and experience to support delivery and staff skilling. |
Partnerships and cooperation
ANNPSR is dedicated to supporting and working with the naval nuclear regulated community. However, ANNPSR relies on cooperation with a broad range of other organisations that make a significant contribution to achieving our objectives.
AUKUS partners. The successful delivery of the AUKUS NPS Program requires comprehensive cooperation so Australia can develop the necessary regulatory system to produce, operate, sustain and steward a sovereign SSN capability. Notably this includes cooperation and support from our US and UK peer regulators in the form of submarine assurance activities, information sharing, and development of ANNPSR staffs.
Australian state-based organisations. ANNPSR’s contribution to assuring safety and social licence requires close collaboration and cooperation with state and local governments from South Australia and Western Australia and their agencies, as well as indigenous corporations.
Commonwealth departments and organisations. Execution of our objectives requires ANNPSR to leverage expertise and capabilities from the following Australian government organisations.
