[en] Australia is a major producer and exporter of ores and minerals (coal, oil, gas, iron ore, bauxite, phosphate rock and mineral sands) which unfortunately can contain NORM. In some industries the management of possible NORM/TENORM exposures is already being. In the oil and gas industry for example radiation protection measures are implemented for staff undertaking maintenance on non-contaminated equipment. However there is still widespread non-regulation in other industries that adequately address the potential occupational and public health concerns relating to NORM/TENORM. The application of radiological protection regulations is currently not uniform throughout Australia. There are nine separate jurisdictions (State, Territory and Commonwealth) having responsibility for radiation safety legislation associated with artificial and naturally occurring radioactive material (NORM). The lack of uniformity in areas such as licensing, exemption limits and the fact that some parts of regulations in individual jurisdictions do not meet current international best practice, creates problems across jurisdictions.
