Radiation licence/accreditation applications
Apply for, or renew, a radiation licence or accreditation online.
Are you a worker from interstate? From 1 December 2022, if you hold a valid and current radiation licence or registration in another state or territory (besides Queensland), you may be entitled to work in NSW under automatic mutual recognition (AMR). If eligible for AMR, you may no longer need to apply for, or renew, a NSW radiation licence or accreditation but will need to notify the EPA of your intention to work in NSW.
Find out more about automatic mutual recognition and if you are eligible.
