The site contamination audit system is a key strategy to assist in the management of site contamination in South Australia.

The legislative framework for the statutory audit system is established in the Environment Protection Act 1993 and the Environment Protection Regulations 2009. The audit system became operational on 1 July 2009.

The EPA is responsible for administering the site contamination audit system. The EPA maintains the integrity of the audit system by accrediting individuals as site contamination auditors and ensuring site contamination audits are carried out in accordance with the legislation and guidance issued or approved by the EPA.

A guideline to support the audit system has been prepared by the EPA. It provides information about the site contamination audit system, the accreditation process for site contamination auditors, and the responsibilities and obligations of site contamination auditors and other persons in relation to site contamination audits.

Audit system overview

A series of information sheets which provide an overview of the audit system, auditors, site contamination audit reports and audit statement has also been published. They are available for download:
