Gene Technology Act 2003

The regulator may, in writing, accredit an organisation as an accredited organisation.

In deciding whether to accredit an organisation, the regulator must have regard to—

whether the organisation has established an institutional biosafety committee under guidelines issued by the regulator under section 98; and

if the organisation has established an institutional biosafety committee—whether the organisation will be able to maintain the institutional biosafety committee in accordance with the guidelines; and

if the organisation has established an institutional biosafety committee—whether the organisation has appropriate indemnity arrangements for its institutional biosafety committee members; and

if the organisation has not established an institutional biosafety committee as mentioned in paragraph (a)—whether the organisation will be in a position to use an institutional biosafety committee established by an accredited organisation; and

any other matters provided in the guidelines.
