The fees listed below have been calculated for 2023-24 financial year as prescribed in Schedule 4 of the Protection from Harmful Radiation Regulation 2013.
Applicants can calculate fees by using the tables below. Management licence fees comprise
- the appropriate application fee (if applicable)
- the management licence fee, based on the duration of the licence - (one year) to possess, store, sell and give away or (1 or 3 years) to sell only
- the applicable regulated material fee groups based on the type and purpose of the apparatus, sealed source devices and substances. Use Table 2 to assess which regulated material group(s) is applicable to you and to calculate the appropriate fees (or refer to clause 14 of the Regulation).
Notes
- A simple application/variation is where all the required information is supplied to the EPA and the applicant has met all the relevant criteria for the licence sought.
- Applications sent to the Radiation Advisory Council (RAC) are usually those which are non-standard (i.e. complex). This is usually where applicants may not have met the necessary requirements. More information on licensing requirements can be found on the Radiation management licence requirements page. If you believe your application may be non-standard, you should contact the EPA at dgrp.licensing@epa.nsw.gov.au or on (02) 9995 5959 before submitting your application.
- Please note a credit card payment fee of 0.4 per cent applies.
