Radiation Protection Act 2006

In deciding whether an applicant is a suitable person to own a registered regulated radiation source, the chief health officer must consider the following:

whether the applicant can satisfy any relevant requirements set out in the national directory;

for an applicant who is, or was, a registered owner under this Act or a corresponding law—

whether any conditions were imposed on the registration; and

if a condition was imposed on the registration—whether the applicant failed to comply with the condition; and

whether the applicant was given an improvement notice or prohibition notice or the equivalent of such a notice; and

whether any disciplinary action was taken against the applicant; and

whether the registration was amended or cancelled;

whether the applicant has been convicted or found guilty of an offence against a law that relates to the applicant’s ability to safely deal with a radiation source, including this Act or a corresponding law;

any other information prescribed by regulation.

If the applicant is a corporation, the chief health officer must also consider the matters mentioned in subsection (1) for each influential person for the corporation.

The chief health officer may consider anything else the chief health officer considers relevant.
