Between October 2024 and January 2025, the Department of Infrastructure briefed the Minister for Communications on finalising the Statutory Review of the Online Safety Act 2021. The briefing sought ministerial approval to accept an updated report from independent reviewer Delia Rickard PSM as the final version for tabling by the 6 February 2025 parliamentary deadline. The updated report included clarification of three recommendations and addition of five new recommendations, consistent with the original 31 October submission, plus minor editorial corrections for clarity and citations. The department indicated implementation of recommendations would require legislative amendments, with separate briefings planned to discuss publication of submissions, next steps, and government response options. The review was funded from existing departmental resources.
