Australia’s gene technology regulatory scheme (GT Scheme) regulates activities with genetically modified organisms (GMOs, organisms modified by gene technology), including environmental releases. The scope of regulation, i.e. what organisms are and are not regulated, is set by the Gene Technology Ac...
