569:, but ARPANSA permitted full production on 13 June. Two weeks later, on 21 June, two workers were creating a Molybdenum-99 isotope when radioactive contamination was detected outside their working space. One of the workers touched the substance with their hand as they were removing their gloves, and the other worker made contact with their fingertips. At the time, it was unclear how much radiation the workers were exposed to, but was estimated by ANSTO to be equivalent to a single medical radiation treatment. Both ARPANSA and COMCARE were required to investigate the incident, and the final report released by ARPANSA stated that the radiation exposure received by the workers was two to three times above the statutory annual limit for hands. 29: 282: 354: 561:, was in charge of the departmental investigation into the relationship between ARPANSA and ANSTO. Later in July 2011, ARPANSA and ANSTO were investigated by the fraud control and audit branch of the department of health, who questioned their impartiality. Whistle-blowers gave reports to the Department of Health that alleged that the relationship between the companies was causing safety reports to be compromised. The Health Department questioned the impartiality of ARPANSA, which then led to a review of ARPANSA's regulatory powers by the federal government. 1801: 605:(EME) from devices like mobile phones do not pose a health risk to citizens. ARPANSA had set the standards for EME levels, and from the initial testing in 2016–2017, the EME levels for 5G were 1,000 times lower than the set standard. ARPANSA then advised the Australian government that 5G was safe, stating that the levels of 5G signals were less than 1% of the maximum radiation level considered safe for citizens in Australia. In response to this public turmoil questioning the safety of 5G, the 338:(UVR) levels for many locations in Australia. This UV radiation index is based on data received by ARPANSA's UV detectors from cities through Australia which continuously collect data and update the site each minute. This information also provides data for the Cancer Council’s SunSmart App. ARPANSA also works with the Cancer Council by providing testing of clothing, sunglasses and shade cloths, and provides labels to indicate when a product fits Australian sun-protective standards. 534: 350:, and each term as CEO cannot exceed five years. The CEO is currently Dr Gillian Hirth, who was appointed in March 2022. The majority of activities are regulated by the individual state and territory departments, with ARPANSA only regulating six different commonwealth entities. ARPANSA then assists the state/territory regulatory bodies to assure that radiation protection requirements are uniform nation-wide within Australia. 2089: 2119: 2109: 2099: 573: 621: 1704: 278:
is not harmful, but radiation can also be used for a variety of health-related purposes. Unlike natural background radiation, there are several risks involved with radiation and nuclear services when used for medical purposes, including increased cancer prevalence. Because of these risks, an agency is required to manage and regulate their use to ensure the safety of all Australians.

From 1935–1972, the authorising body governing radiation in Australia was the Commonwealth X-Ray and Radium Laboratory. This was replaced by the Commonwealth Radiation Laboratory (1972–1973), and then the Australian Radiation Laboratory (1973–1999). In 1999, the Australian Radiation Laboratory then

The average Australian is exposed annually to radiation at a level of 1,500-2,000 μSv, which is low in comparison to other countries, such as the 7,8000 μSv annual level reported in Cornwall, United Kingdom. These amounts are considered to be natural background radiation levels and exposure to this
