LLRW disposal in Australia?

[jpettigrew@halnet.com (Jeff Pettigrew)]

Dear Australian Radsafers,

Could any of you give me some information as to how one might dispose of LLRW in Western or South Australia?  The waste would be microcurie quantities of Co-60.  I am particularly interested in what government agency sanctions disposal and if one must/should use a broker to handle the waste.  Can RAM used in WA be sent to Queensland for disposal, if a site does not exist in WA?  Any information you can throw my way is appreciated.
