ASNO works to ensure Australia's WMD non-proliferation objectives are understood in the public, private, non-government and academic sectors, through presentations, training and other outreach activities. For example, over 2018–19 ASNO has attended peak industry forums, conducted on-site outreach visits, and given lectures and presentations in academic and other fora. In 2018–19, ASNO supported public information and outreach activities through attendance and discussions held at the:
- Minerals Council of Australia
- The Australasian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy (AusIMM) Conference.
ASNO delivered modules on safeguards for the online Master of Nuclear Engineering course ENGG9744 Nuclear Safety, Security and Safeguards at the University of New South Wales (UNSW).
During 2015–2018, ASNO established a number of new template permits and compliance codes for ASNO's current permit and authority holders. In the interests of informing future potential permit holders and the general public on regulatory requirements, ASNO made template permits and compliance codes publicly available online.37
