A user licence fee can be calculated by using the tables and information below. A user licence fee comprises
- the appropriate application fee
- the applicable regulated material group (use Table 3 to assess which regulated material group is applicable to you) and the period of the user licence - one or three years (use Table 1 or 2).
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 user licence sought.
- Applications sent to the Radiation Advisory Council (RAC) are those which are non-standard (i.e. complex). This is where
- no specific qualifications have been identified
- the qualification, course or training completed, is not recognised by the EPA as acceptable. Information on qualifications that are acceptable to the EPA can be found on the Radiation user licence - criteria page.
- If your qualification is not listed on the EPA website your application will require the additional payment for a Radiation Advisory Council referral. If you have any questions contact the EPA at dgrp.licensing@epa.nsw.gov.au or on (02) 9995 5700 before submitting your application.
- Where there are two or more categories of regulated material applied for, the higher of the fees applies.
- Please note a credit card payment fee of 0.4 per cent applies.
