Radiation licences

Radiation Management Licence

The university holds a Radiation Management Licence issued by the NSW Environment Protection Authority (EPA) which authorises the possession, sale, storage, consignment for transport, disposal or giving away of regulated material. The licence lists regulated material stored across the campuses of Charles Sturt University.

It is illegal to use a radioactive substance or irradiating apparatus without obtaining a licence from the EPA, except for prescribed activities with strict supervision.

Applying for a Radiation User Licence

To apply for a personal radiation user licence, visit the EPA website to complete and lodge your licence application. Once you've received your licence, please scan and email a copy to the Radiation Safety Committee (RSC) at radiationsafety@csu.edu.au and the Radiation Monitoring unit at radmon@csu.edu.au.

Licence renewals and variations

When your radiation user licence is renewed, an updated copy must be supplied to the RSC and Radiation Monitoring unit.

You will be asked to provide a copy of your radiation user licence with research or teaching applications to the Radiation Safety Committee.
