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 position papers for guidance of radiation oncology medical physics practice within the Australasian setting. These position papers 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 position papers. The recommendations are endorsed by the ROSG, have been subject to independent expert reviews. For the Australian audience, these recommendations should be read in conjunction with the Tripartite Radiation Oncology Practice Standards [1, 2]. This publication presents the recommendations of the ACPSEM OPACS and OIS Working Group (OISWG) and has been developed in alignment with other international associations. However, these recommendations should be read in conjunction with relevant national, state or territory legislation and local requirements, which take precedence over the ACPSEM position papers. It is hoped that the users of this and other ACPSEM position papers will contribute to the development of future versions through the Radiation Oncology Specialty Group of the ACPSEM.
澳大利亚医学物理科学家与工程师学会（ACPSEM）放射肿瘤学专业组（ROSG）于2011年成立了一系列工作组，以制定立场文件，为澳大利亚环境下的放射肿瘤医学物理实践提供指导。这些立场文件旨在为安全工作实践和适当水平的质量控制提供指导，而无需详细的工作说明。医学物理学家有责任确保当地可用的设备和程序足够灵敏，以确保符合这些立场文件。这些建议得到了ROSG的认可，并经过了独立专家评审。对于澳大利亚读者，这些建议应与三方放射肿瘤学实践标准[1,2]一并阅读。本出版物介绍了ACPSEM OPACS和OIS工作组（OISWG）的建议，并与其他国际协会保持一致。然而，这些建议应与相关的国家、州或领地立法以及当地要求一并阅读，这些要求优先于ACPSEM立场文件。希望本文件及其他ACPSEM立场文件的使用者能通过ACPSEM放射肿瘤学专业组为未来版本的制定做出贡献。
