The Governing Body is assisted by a Secretariat, which consists of a General Manager (Chief Employee) and public service officers appointed or made available under Part 3 of the
Public Sector Management Act 1994 .
The Secretariat staff are the initial point of contact in day-to-day dealings on matters concerning gas, electricity, rail and water regulation. While Secretariat staff may provide advice or other assistance in relation to these matters, it is the Governing Body that is responsible for regulatory decisions.
The Secretariat is structured along functional lines with four operational divisions and two business support divisions, being Finance and Administration and Planning and Executive Support. The operational divisions are:
| Competition, Markets and Electricity |
Co-ordinating and setting strategic directions, monitoring of the West Australian electricity market, assessment of the state of competition in electricity and gas retail markets and access to regulated electricity networks. |
| Licensing, Monitoring and Customer Protection |
Licensing and performance monitoring for gas, electricity and water and performance monitoring for rail. |
| References and Research |
Management of inquiries referred by Government and undertaking research involving economic, financial, technical and legal issues. |
| Gas and Rail Access |
Assessment and approval of access arrangements, ring fencing and associate contracts, etc. in the gas and rail industries. |
