Australian mining operates under a patchwork of state-based mining acts (QLD, NSW, VIC, WA each with different requirements), federal environmental law (EPBC Act), workplace safety (WHS), emissions reporting (NGER/Safeguard), and increasingly, international ESG frameworks (TNFD, CSRD, SBTi). Tailings dam failures globally have triggered new international standards (GISTM) that Australian operators are expected to adopt. Most mining companies manage compliance in spreadsheets — across hundreds of obligations from dozens of regulators.
That's what AuditDSS replaces.
2,108+ mining compliance obligations scored and ready.
QLD Mining Act — primary mining safety and health legislation.
NSW mining legislation — work health and safety (mines).
Victorian mineral resources regulation.
WA mining safety and inspection requirements.
Environmental approvals for mining projects. Land clearing, offsets, threatened species.
Large mines must report and surrender credits above emissions baselines.
Mandatory greenhouse gas and energy reporting for mines above thresholds.
Workplace health and safety — mining has highest fatality rates.
Biodiversity certificates from mine rehabilitation — world-first market.
Mandatory climate reporting phasing in for large miners from 2025.
Supply chain reporting. Mining has high modern slavery risk in supply chains.
Nature-related financial disclosures — mining is a priority sector.
Science-based targets for land use. Applies to mine rehabilitation.
Answer a short questionnaire about your operation — what you mine, where you operate, which jurisdictions. AuditDSS identifies exactly which regulations and obligations apply to you.
See your compliance posture scored across every applicable regulation. Understand where you're covered, where gaps exist, and which gaps carry the highest risk.
Get tailored compliance policies, procedures, and documentation generated for your specific operation. Not templates — documents calibrated to your size, commodity, and risk profile.
Map your existing evidence — satellite monitoring, drone surveys, water quality sensors, emissions data, rehabilitation assessments — to specific obligations.
Already using satellite imagery or drone surveys to monitor tailings dams, land disturbance, or rehabilitation progress? That data satisfies specific obligations under the EPBC Act, state mining acts, and GISTM. AuditDSS maps your monitoring data to the exact obligations it proves.
Real-time water quality sensors, dust monitors, and groundwater level data generate continuous compliance evidence. That's direct evidence for EPA licence conditions, EPBC approval conditions, and community health obligations.
NGER reporting, Safeguard Mechanism baselines, and Scope 1/2/3 calculations. AuditDSS links your emissions data to NGER obligations (121), Safeguard credits (80 obligations), climate disclosure requirements, and SBTi targets (165 obligations).
Mine rehabilitation assessments, progressive closure plans, biodiversity offsets, and soil testing data. We map rehabilitation evidence to Nature Repair Act obligations (147), EPBC offset conditions (153 obligations), and state mining act closure requirements.
You don't need new data. You need your existing monitoring data connected to the regulations that require it. That's what AuditDSS does.
Most compliance platforms tell you what you must do to avoid penalties. AuditDSS also tells you what you gain by complying.
Maintain social licence and regulatory approvals across multiple jurisdictions
GISTM compliance reduces insurance premiums and satisfies investor due diligence
Mine rehabilitation generates Australian Carbon Credit Units and biodiversity certificates
EPBC penalties up to $15.5M for corporations. State mining act penalties vary by jurisdiction.
TNFD and CSRD compliance improves ESG scores for listed miners
Demonstrated compliance can reduce rehabilitation bond requirements
