Scheduling decisions (final)
A final scheduling decision by the delegate to amend the Poison Standard.
Please note that final decisions relating to matters discussed at the November 2022 meetings of the ACMS and ACCS, which were to be published in April 2023, have been delayed. These decisions are anticipated to be published in early May 2023.
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 such as pharmacy only, poison and prohibited substance. To protect public health and safety we regulate the availability of a medicine or poison according to its schedule. The schedules are published in the Poisons Standard. Amendments to the Poisons Standard are considered by the Advisory Committee on Medicines Scheduling and the Advisory Committee on Chemicals Scheduling.
We invite public responses to the amendments via scheduling submissions. We publish interim scheduling decisions and consult on those. We then publish final scheduling decisions.
