How we regulate
ARPANSA is committed to applying a consistent approach in how it regulates Commonwealth entities. Regulatory Services has developed a suite of manuals on how to conduct licensing and assessment, inspection, and compliance and enforcement activities.
Manuals
Licensing and Assessment Manual
The Licensing and Assessment Manual covers the assessment and approval of applications from Commonwealth entities and the continuous improvement of those processes. Matters covered by the manual include:
- applications for a licence
- applications for an exemption
- applications for a licence amendment
- requests for approval to transfer or dispose of controlled material
- requests for approval to transport radioactive material.

Inspection Manual
The Inspection Manual elaborates on the policy statement and supporting principles outlined in the Policy for ARPANSA’s Regulatory Activities as relevant to inspections. The Policy is aligned with the International Atomic Energy Agency's (IAEA) General Safety Requirements (GSR Part 1 Rev 1) Governmental, Legal and Regulatory Framework for Safety.
Compliance and Enforcement Manual
The Compliance and Enforcement Manual provides guidance to regulatory staff about monitoring compliance and managing non-compliance using a graded and risk-based approach.
Guidance for stakeholders is provided in the Regulatory guide: Graded approach to dealing with licence holder non-compliance.
