External auditors
Since its beginning, we've recognised the importance of staying connected with the latest advancements in radiation oncology technology and practice. The external auditors pool is one of the ways we achieve this as well as engaging with our institutional memory.
Our external auditors are:
- experienced ACDS alumni who are currently working as radiation oncology physicists or radiation therapists in Australia or New Zealand
- experts in radiation dosimetry who are currently working at the primary standards laboratories in Australia (PSDL, ARPANSA) or previously at the NRL in New Zealand, and are trained in ACDS audit procedures.
These individuals perform audits each year alongside one of our experienced audit team members.
The external auditors are subject to our training and conflict of interest guidelines. We're aware of potential conflicts of interest that may arise when external auditors are asked to audit other radiation oncology departments while still working in the field. During the audit planning stage, the department is given the opportunity to object to the use of a proposed external auditor.
