The Australasian College of Physical Scientists and Engineers in Medicine (ACPSEM) Radiation Oncology Specialty Group (ROSG) formed a series of working groups in 2011 to develop recommendations for guidance of radiation oncology medical physics practice within the Australasian setting. These recommendations are intended to provide guidance for safe work practices and a suitable level of quality control without detailed work instructions. It is the responsibility of the medical physicist to ensure that locally available equipment and procedures are sufficiently sensitive to establish compliance to these recommendations.

Article Synopsis
- The ACPSEM radiation oncology specialty group established working groups in 2011 to create recommendations for safe medical physics practices in radiation oncology throughout Australasia.
- These recommendations aim to provide general guidance on quality control without detailed instructions and emphasize that medical physicists must ensure compliance with locally available equipment and procedures.
- Additionally, the guidelines from the ACPSEM, particularly for total body irradiation (TBI), should be used alongside relevant national and local regulations, encouraging users to engage in the development of future updates.
