On 1 December 2023, the Department of Mines, Industry Regulation and Safety (DMIRS) was renamed the Department of Energy, Mines, Industry Regulation and Safety (DEMIRS).
Announced by the WA Government in November 2023, the new identity better reflects the importance of Western Australia’s energy portfolio and the critical role it will play in the WA Government’s decarbonisation ambitions.
Energy Policy WA continues to lead the State’s energy transformation by delivering expert advice and initiatives to support the interests of WA’s energy consumers.
The renaming does not affect DEMIRS’ other regulatory functions. DEMIRS will continue to support a safe, fair, and responsible community, industry, energy and resources sector.
