This audit would examine whether the Australian Nuclear Science and Technology Organisation (ANSTO) has effectively managed nuclear and related scientific assets throughout their life cycle (including decommissioning), to support Australia’s international competitiveness in scientific research, and provide a reliable domestic supply of radiopharmaceuticals to the Australian nuclear medicine community.
ANSTO manages over $1 billion of nuclear and related scientific assets, for which it incurred over $75 million in depreciation in 2018–19. These assets include highly specialised facilities, such as the Open Pool Australian Lightwater nuclear research reactor, the Australian Synchrotron electron accelerator, and nuclear medicine production equipment. These facilities aim to advance Australia’s commercial and scientific interests by employing world-leading technology. ANSTO has identified asset management and expansion as a strategic corporate objective.

This audit would assess the effectiveness of NBN Co Limited’s strategies to manage its transition from building to operating the national broadband network (NBN). While NBN Co will continue to have a build commitment for new developments and ‘complex connections’, construction of the NBN ‘volume rollout’ is scheduled for completion by June 2020, followed by a further 18-month timeframe for completing the migration from previous infrastructure to the NBN.
The transition of NBN Co’s operating model from network construction to one focusing on ongoing network operations was identified as a key risk in the NBN Co Corporate Plan 2020–23. The audit would examine the extent to which NBN Co has established and implemented measures to address this risk.
