We help protect Australians and our environment by assessing the risks of importing or manufacturing (introducing) industrial chemicals and promoting their safe use. We focus on chemicals, polymers, ingredients of products used in printing, plastics, mining, construction, paints, adhesives, consumer goods, cosmetics and more.
