This document provides further information about how to get accredited and how to stay accredited.
This document describes the Physical Containment (PC) levels used by the Gene Technology Regulator in the certification of facilities. It also explains the categories of organisms and types of dealings intended to be contained in each facility type and PC level.
This documents helps with the correct classification of NLRDs being included in the Record of Assessment for reporting online.
Gene technology is widely used in Australia: in agriculture, in research, in health and medicine, in education, and in industry.
Details on how the Gene Technology Regulator views requests to alter instruments of accreditation.
This guidance provides basic information to organisations in Australia wishing to conduct human clinical trials involving an experimental product that is, or contains, a genetically modified organism (GMO).
Gene technology (also known as genetic engineering or genetic modification) provides ways to make changes to genes – the sets of instructions in the cells of all living creatures. There is a large amount of overlap between ‘gene technology’ and the newer term ‘synthetic biology’.
Anyone who wants to import or use a genetically modified organism (GMO)needs permission. That includes farmers, importers, schools, researchers, and members of the public.
If you are importing genetically modified grain or you are importing genetically modified organisms (GMOs) on behalf of researchers, then you have specific obligations under the Gene Technology Act 2000.
