About the Branch
Legal Services and Governance (LSG)
We support the operations of the Clean Energy Regulator through the provision of dedicated in-house legal services and strategic legal advice on the formulation and implementation of legislation and operational policy. This includes aiding with identifying and managing legal risks involving the agency.
We provide independent and objective risk and audit assurance and advisory services that seek to provide confidence in the ability of the agency’s people, processes, and systems to deliver on its objectives. This includes the development and maintenance of operational frameworks, advice and assurance activities, including the annual internal audit work program, that support the agency’s approach to risk management, and fraud control & assurance.
We assist the Regulator Board and key agency governance committees to effectively function and contribute to the agency’s reputation as a trusted, relevant and expert institution through the management of a suite of conformance obligations.
Key functions we perform include:
* drafting and/or clearing legal documents, including statements of reasons, contracts and instruments of delegations
* managing compliance with obligations under FOI and Ombudsman schemes
* coordinating the conduct of administrative, civil and criminal litigation, including responses to subpoenas
* coordinating the internal review and complaints management processes
* overseeing the governance framework
* delivering co-ordinated input into amendments to existing legislation
* ensuring effective participation in the government’s regulatory reform agenda
* managing all strategic and key accountable business committees.
While LSG is accountable for the agency’s strategic priorities and strategic risks and associated deliverables outlined in its business plan, our role is limited to ensuring the prescribed timeframes are met and the outputs are evidence-based and lawful. Noting that in most cases officers from the business areas have been identified as having responsibility for the data, information and drafting of documentation, as required.
