About our team

In December 2023, the Migration Amendment (Bridging Visa Conditions and Other Measures) Act 2023 (Cth) came into effect. As a result, the Department stood up a newly established Community Safety Order (CSO) Taskforce Branch to administer the Commonwealth Community Safety Order Scheme.

Within the CSO Taskforce, the Reporting, Governance and Relationships (RGR) team was established to provide non-legal support to litigation teams in undertaking case specific work to progress potential CSO applications.

We are a tight knit team, that provide high level program/project management functions to assist the CSO Taskforce APS and Executive level legal staff by establishing, administering, and implementing the foundations and ongoing maintenance of the reporting, governance and stakeholder management functions, systems and processes.
