Consultation on temporary labelling exemptions for paracetamol

Overview

In May of 2023, the delegate of the Secretary of the Department of Health and Aged Care made a final decision regarding paracetamol pack sizes in the Poisons Standard.

Consultation

To assist industry in transitioning to new requirements due to the upcoming changes to the scheduling of paracetamol, and to facilitate pharmacy’s ability to supply these products, we are proposing a period of labelling exemptions for signal words for certain Pharmacy Only (S2) and Pharmacist Only (S3) products.

You are invited to comment on the proposed labelling exemptions. 

The closing date for submissions is 30 September 2024.
