The Act regulates the use of certain techniques and the release of GMOs into the environment. The object of this Act is to be achieved through a regulatory framework which provides that where there are threats of serious or irreversible environmental damage, a lack of full scientific certainty should not be used as a reason for postponing cost-effective measures to prevent environmental degradation and provides an efficient and effective system for the application of gene technologies; and operates in conjunction with other Commonwealth and State regulatory schemes relevant to GMOs and GMO products.
