Radiation Protection Amendment (Fees) Regulations 2016

Radiation Protection Amendment (Fees) Regulations 2016 — Tasmania

This is a Tasmanian regulation that amends the fees charged under the Radiation Protection Act in Tasmania.

What does it do? It updates the fees that people and businesses must pay when applying for licences, registrations, or approvals related to the use of radiation — for example, businesses that use X-ray machines, radiation therapy equipment, or other sources of radiation.

Who does it affect?

• Medical and dental clinics using X-ray equipment
• Workplaces using radiation sources (e.g. mining, industrial testing)
• Radiation workers applying for or renewing licences
• Any person or organisation in Tasmania that needs government approval to possess or use radiation-producing equipment

Why does it matter? If you work in or run a business involving radiation equipment in Tasmania, this regulation determines how much you pay to stay legally compliant. Failing to hold the correct licence or registration can result in penalties.

Bottom line: This is a routine fee-update regulation — it doesn't change the rules about radiation safety, just the cost of complying with them.
