National Uniformity
One of the functions of the CEO of ARPANSA is to promote uniformity of radiation protection and nuclear safety policy and practices across all jurisdictions.
The CEO is assisted in this function by the Radiation Health and Safety Advisory Council (RHSAC), the Radiation Health Committee (RHC) and the Nuclear Safety Committee (NSC).
The RHC is established under the ARPANS Act to advise the CEO and the RHSAC on matters relating to radiation protection, including formulating draft national policies, codes and standards for the promotion of uniform national standards of radiation protection for consideration by the Commonwealth, States and Territories.
In August 2004 ARPANSA released Edition 1 of the National Directory for Radiation Protection prepared by the RHC and endorsed by the Australian Health Ministers’ Conference as the uniform national framework for radiation protection.
