Institutional Biosafety and Radiation Committee
The Institutional Biosafety and Radiation Committee (IBRC) for the University of Canberra was established to fulfil the role as required by the Gene Technology Regulations Act 2001 and to ensure ionising and non-ionising radiation safety across the University in accordance with the Radiation Protection Act 2006 and the Radiation Protection Regulation 2007.
Before commencing any research project involving GMOs and/or ionising and non-ionising radiation, staff and students at the University are required to submit an application to the UC Biosafety and Radiation Committee and obtain written approval to ensure that all statutory requirements are met.
