ARPANSA

Consultation Hub

ARPANSA is the Australian Government’s primary authority on radiation protection and nuclear safety. As part of its role as a regulator and health advisor, ARPANSA develops Australian-specific codes, standards and guides to support effective radiation regulation across all jurisdictions. ARPANSA also represents Australia on international committees tasked with developing standards and safety guides outlining international best practice. From time to time, we invite submissions on draft documents before publication to obtain stakeholder input into regulatory and guidance documents.

ARPANSA also engages in consultation on significant license applications to ensure community voices are heard and stakeholder input is considered in key regulatory decisions.
