What is the CCIM?

The Conference of Chief Inspectors of Mines (CCIM) is a Subcommittee of Australia's Ministerial Council on Mineral and Petroleum Resources (MCMPR). The Chief Inspectors of Mines are the most senior technical officers with regulatory responsibility and accountability for mining operations in the States and Northern Territory of Australia. New Zealand and Papua New Guinea officials usually attend annual meetings of the CCIM as observers.

The CCIM's current primary task for the MCMPR is the development and implementation of a more consistent nationwide approach to mine safety and health. The link below will take you to a more detailed discussion of the MCMPR's National Mine Safety Framework and the steps leading to its implementation.
