Strategic Challenge Post 2003
Strategic challenge for Standards Australia post 2003 separation from SAI Global:
– Maximise the value of our contribution to the net public benefit of Australia
– Do so within a framework of long term sustainability
» Maintain value of corpus in perpetuity
Challenges driving NBM
Demand for Australian Standards and related international engagement beyond our finite resources
600 committees generating projects; 1,400 active projects of varying size and complexity; not all progressing to satisfaction of stakeholders
No systematic assessment and strategic prioritisation process.
Resources not distributed equitably across all sectors of economy
No effective project or resource management
Need to clarify, define and resource roles of Standards Australia.

Issues Identification
We are changing the way we engage with industry, community and government through sector based strategic relationship management
Twelve industry sectors covers Australian economy
Agriculture, Forestry, Fishing and FoodMiningManufacturing and ProcessingBuilding and ConstructionElectrotechnology and EnergyWater and Waste ServicesTransport and LogisticsHealth and Community ServicesConsumer Products and Services; Consumer SafetyCiTECEducation and Training ServicesPublic Safety, Public Administration and Security
Net Benefit Assessment
Net Benefit is the measure to prove the case for the development of an Australian Standard
Imposts vs benefits of Standard
"having an overall positive impact on relevant communities"
Core policy approach supported by Productivity Commission, the Australian Government and various regulatory reviews
Stakeholders must declare a Net Benefit Case for all future projects
Alternative Pathways- Choice
1. Committee DrivenHighly autonomous committees draft Standards to the requirements of ABSDO with defined technical and secretarial support and access to technical advice and editorial support from Standards Australia
2. Bureau An advanced version of the Committee Driven pathway where most of the responsibilities are held by one proposing organisation
3. CollaborativeSpecialist support products and services are provided under a collaborative agreement to meet market needs and solutions in agreed terms and time frames
4. Standards Australia DrivenHigh level technical and support services are offered for projects of high Net Benefit and priority. This pathway offers greater contribution from Standards Australia
5. ABSDOAccreditation as an Australian Standards developer via the Accreditation Board for Standards Development Organisations (ABSDO)
Alternative Pathways- Choice

WaterMark
Scheme
SA owns WaterMark Scheme.
Have a MOU with NPRF - concludes in Dec 09.
June 2008 formally advised NPRF of decision to divest ourselves of ownership
Why divest?
• Productivity Commission Report 2006
• House of Representatives Standing Committee on Regulating Plumbing Product Quality 2007
• SA/Commonwealth MOU 2008
SA approach to Divestment
Ensure we manage transition seamlessly and in the national interest
Fulfill our legal and contractual obligations
Maintain good relationships within sector
Minimise financial costs on all parties
Issues for SA Who needs to be consulted besides NPRF?
Who should own WaterMark and how will this be determined?
What are the possible alternative arrangements?
What are the implications of the National Construction Code and review of IGA?
Addressing linkages between ownership of WaterMark scheme and work of WS -014 and WS – 031.
Financial considerations – set up costs and current value of future revenues.
Current Status Agreed with NPRF to work together on issues and solution
Were to have finalised a plan of action by December 2008 and then early 2009
Slow progress with NPRF to-date
SA will still maintain and improve existing system.
THANK YOU
