We've developed free online Occupational Radiation Exposure (ORE) material for all people working in medical facilities that use ionising radiation, for example, X-rays and CT nuclear medicine.
We run an annual Practical Reference Dosimetry Course for external beam radiotherapy. Running over four days, the course covers the theory and provide hands-on experience in all areas of radiation dosimetry for external beams.
ARPANSA in collaboration with the medical sector has produced a Radiation Protection of the Patient (RPOP) Module to increase understanding of the radiation safety aspects of medical imaging.
Any person who uses a source or facility must have appropriate training in radiation safety. To assist licence holders comply with this condition we recognise radiation safety courses approved by the state and territory regulators.
