The Australian Radiation Protection and Nuclear Safety Agency (ARPANSA) is an Australian body that monitors and identifies solar radiation and nuclear radiation risks to the population of Australia.

It is identified as the main government body dealing with ionizing and non-ionizing radiation[1] and publishes material regarding radiation protection.[2]

It publishes daily solar ultraviolet radiation (UVR) levels for many locations in Australia.[3]

It also sets Ultraviolet Protection Factor standards for protective clothing.[4]
