the gaps in content within the NDRP which remain despite the NDRP now being 14 years old.
Areas within the NDRP without detail include the provisions intended to set nationally agreed requirements concerning such matters as security, accreditation of so-called third-party service providers, codes and standards to be adopted, and forms of non-ionising radiation to be regulated. The review also noted that in the absence of content in the NDRP on these issues, most jurisdictions have developed their own requirements, but this has led to some significant variations in approach, which is, of course, contrary to the core intention of the NDRP, which was national consistency.
In due course, the government will consider the review report and formulate a position on the 20 recommendations it includes.
Madam Speaker, I welcome any recommendations to improve the ACT’s radiation protection legislation, and I value the findings contained within the review report and the work that has gone into its preparation. In accordance with my obligations under the Radiation Protection Act, I commend the review report to the ACT Legislative Assembly.
