This publication presents a comprehensive framework for the development, implementation and communication of environmental radiation monitoring and assessment activities. The Framework provides guidance on establishing environmental programs with clear objectives driven by Community Values and expert judgement, and which consider the full lifecycle of a program during the planning process.
The Community Values for environmental monitoring and assessment included in this Framework are used to drive decisions about what, why and where ARPANSA prioritises environmental programs. They are intended to guide the design of environmental monitoring and assessment activities, and to ensure these activities are aligned with protecting the ways in which Australians interact with, benefit from, and value the environment.
