The release comprises emails, a Comcare offshore inspections tracking table dated 5 December 2017, a section 155 requirement notice, an incident notification form and a Broadspectrum Work Health and Safety Management Plan for the Manus Island Regional Processing Centre. The material concerns the 14 April 2017 shooting incident at the Manus Island Regional Processing Centre, which Comcare investigated under reference MC00000117, with the Department of Immigration and Border Protection as the notified party. Correspondence from May 2017 shows officials debating whether the matter was notifiable under section 37 or section 38 of the Work Health and Safety Act, and a February 2018 email records that a Comcare inspector report was still outstanding ahead of Senate estimates. The notice compelled DIBP to provide information and documents. Names, direct contact details and some passages are withheld under sections 22, 47E(d), 47F and 33, and the release is marked sensitive and for official use only.
