Unsealed radioisotopes
This course is intended for academic staff, general staff, postgraduate students and honours students who are required to work with unsealed radioisotopes.
For non staff and non students the payment of $550.00 + GST ($605) can be made on our website (costs as of March 2025 onwards).
It is designed to provide participants with sufficient theoretical and practical knowledge to enable them to safely handle radioisotopes in a research environment.
All new unsealed radioisotope users at UWA are required to have attended and passed this course within the first year of using radioisotopes, preferably before they start such work.
The course satisfies the training requirements for a licence for unsealed radioactive substances (research) under the Radiation Safety Act 1975.
