Scheduling

Scheduling is a national classification system that controls how medicines and poisons are made available to the public. Medicines and poisons are classified into schedules according to the level of regulatory control over the availability of the medicine or poison required to protect public health and safety.

The Standard for the Uniform Scheduling of Medicines and Poisons (SUSMP) outlines which substances are classified in each Schedule.
