Public consultation on interim decisions to amend the Poisons Standard - ACMS, ACCS & Joint ACMS-ACCS JUNE, 2024

When a scheduling application or proposal is made, they are considered by the person to whom the Secretary of the Department of Health and Aged Care has delegated decision making responsibility. The Delegate may seek advice from the Advisory Committees. Where a proposal is referred to an Advisory Committee, the Delegate must invite public submissions on the proposal. The referral process to the Advisory Committees usually includes two opportunities for public consultation; one at the pre-meeting stage and one in response to the delegate’s interim decision. 

What will happen

This is an interim decision consultation. Any public submissions received are considered by the Delegate along with advice from the Advisory Committees before they make a final decision. 

Public submissions are published on the TGA website – see the section on Privacy and your personal information in this consultation.
