This document provides baseline information about the parent organism for use in risk assessments of genetically modified (GM) Musa spp. that may be released into the Australian environment.
This protocol is to provide inquiring third parties with the appropriate information on how to report matters of non-compliance to the OGTR.
This document provides baseline information about the parent organism in risk assessments of genetically modified H. vulgare that may be released into the Australian environment.
There has been a drop in both awareness and support for gene technologies in Australia since 2012, with mean levels of support dropping from 6.07 out of ten to 5.33. As in previous studies it appears that people with less knowledge of gene technology are less likely to support it.
The overall finding of the 2019 survey is that attitudes to genetically modified organisms (GMOs) have moved more towards neutral middle positions, as well as an increase in those who aren’t sure or don’t know, and some reduction in those with stronger views.
This document sets out the policy framework the Office of the Gene Technology Regulator (OGTR) will use when dealing with possible contraventions of the legislation in accordance with criminal, civil and administrative provisions.
This conceptual discussion paper proposes a generic framework for the environmental risk assessment (ERA) of organisms including a set of generic risk factors based on biological attributes of organisms and bio-physical characteristics of interactions of organisms with the environment.
This update outlines the work of the Office of the Gene Technology Regulator (OGTR) in ensuring compliance with Australia’s gene technology legislation and regulations.
