Folks,
Australia always has to be different.
Here, the AIP requires the pilot to apply an aircraft specific position error correction to a published DA, or if the figure for the aeroplane is not known, add 50' to the DA ----- in addition/subtraction to any other corrections to the approach minima ---- low temperatures etc.

Unfortunately, CASA Flying Operations Inspector training is decades out of date, so, if an exercise is being conducted under FOI supervision, operators will add another 50' so that the aircraft never indicates an altitude below the DA during a missed approach.

Procedure design rules, as per current, are a complete mystery to said FOIs.
