ARPANSA is the Australian Government's primary authority on radiation protection and nuclear safety. Based in Yallambie, Victoria, it operates as a mid-sized government agency focused on safeguarding people and the environment from the harms of radiation through understanding risks, regulation, research, policy, services, partnerships, and community engagement. Its remit encompasses the Australian public and organizations that handle radiation, with an emphasis on applying best-practice regulation and practical safety measures to reduce exposure and environmental impact. A notable 2023 development was the introduction of a monitoring capability to track radiation doses to the lens of the eye for medical workers, reflecting the organization's move to translate scientific knowledge into public-safety tools. ARPANSA also collaborates with national and international partners to advance radiation protection through research and shared standards.
