5G, EME and health
As we continue our rollout of 5G technology around Australia, we're committed to sharing information on our real-world tests of 5G EME levels. We ensure that all of our base stations and wireless devices are designed and tested to comply with the applicable EME safety standards.

Expert advice from leading health authorities
We rely on the expert advice of Australian and international health authorities for the assessment of health and safety impacts of wireless technology and EME. This includes the Australian Government Department of Health, Australian Radiation Protection and Nuclear Safety Agency (ARPANSA), the International Commission for Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection and the World Health Organisation.

ARPANSA’s assessment is that 5G is safe.
The Australian Radiation Protection and Nuclear Safety Agency (ARPANSA) is the Australian Government's primary authority on radiation protection and nuclear safety.
ARPANSA’s research indicates that there is no established evidence for health effects from radio waves used in mobile telecommunications. This includes the upcoming roll-out of the 5G network.
