An empty cell means no publishable row for that year — unknown, not nil. Never read a blank as a fall to zero. ⚠️ This agency has not always carried its current name. Figures in the earlier years were reported as NOPSEMA (2011-12 to 2016-17); National Offshore Petroleum Safety And Environmental Management Authority (2017-18 to 2022-23); National Offshore Petroleum Safety and Environmental Management Authority (NOPSEMA) (2022-23 to 2024-25).

Sources — annual reports
Each link opens transparency.gov.au — the published source the figures were read from. The label names the table to look for.
° The portal does not publish a path for this report, so the link opens the agency's reports on transparency.gov.au rather than that year directly. Pick the year from there.
