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
Review and Assessment Manual
The Review 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 or amendment to a licence
- applications for an exemption
- requests for approval to make changes with significant implications for safety
- requests for approval to transfer or dispose of a source
- requests for approval to transport radioactive material.

Compliance Manual
The Compliance Manual provides guidance to regulatory staff about monitoring compliance and managing non-compliance using a graded and risk-based approach.
