THE NATIONAL GENE TECHNOLOGY SCHEME

The National Gene Technology Scheme is a collaboration between all Australian
governments, supporting a nationally consistent regulatory system for gene
technology in Australia.


ABOUT GENE TECHNOLOGY

HOW THE SCHEME WORKS

Find out about the scheme and how it manages risks from gene technology and
genetically modified organisms (GMOs).


USING GENE TECHNOLOGY

In Australia we use gene technology in a variety of ways. Learn more about the
different industries that use gene technology.

Transcript

Gene technology provides ways to make changes to genes the sets of instructions
in the cells of all living creatures.

Gene technology is an important research tool to investigate how the function of
specific genes might be adjusted to create specialized medicines vaccines and
other products to help fight diseases and assist agricultural crops to be more
productive.

The use and application of gene technology is the responsibility of all
Australian states and territories through the National Gene Technology Scheme.

The object of the scheme is to protect the health and safety of people and to
protect the environment from risks associated with genetically modified
organisms.

This intergovernmental approach involves all Australian governments in decisions
relating to gene technology and helps ensure international consistency with
Australia's global obligations.

The scheme is regularly reviewed and strengthened to respond to the ongoing
development of new and emerging techniques and gene technologies.

Further information is available on the National Gene Technology Scheme website.
