矿业监管员（Mining Wardens）在行政履职范畴内，需接收并登记其管辖区域内的各类矿业租约与许可证申请。可登记的租约与许可证申请类型包括：1859年起的金矿开采租约（通常简称为矿业租约）、1861年起的矿物租约、1862年起的矿物勘探许可证、1873年起的保留土地金矿开采租约、1885年起的地产租约、1897年起的尾矿许可证、1935年起的石油勘探许可证以及1935年起的石油矿物租约。目前无法确定监管员是否对所有上述类型的租约与许可证申请完成了登记。1915年以前，租约与许可证申请需先提交至地区矿业监管员，再转送至墨尔本矿业部；1915年起，申请需直接提交至该部门，再由其转送至监管员。
