- National Code of Practice for Chemicals of Security Concern (Cth) - Level 3Of the approximately 40,000 chemicals approved for use in Australia, 96 are identified (by the Council of Australian Governments (COAG)) as being chemicals of security concern. Of these 96, 15 chemicals have been deemed as high risk (can be used at make homemade explosives or toxic devices) and are covered by the voluntary National Code of Practice for Chemicals of Security Concern (Code). It should be noted that Ammonium nitrate is not included in this group of 15 as it is regulated separately by state and territory governments.
Although the Code specifically applies to the 15 high risk chemicals, organisations are encouraged to adopt the Code for the 96 chemicals identified as of security concern. - National Statement on Ethical Conduct in Human Research (2007) (updated 2018) (Cth) - Level 1The National Statement (2007) (updated 2018) consists of a series of Guidelines made in accordance with the National Health and Medical Research Council Act 1992.
