On April 17, 2026, the Therapeutic Goods Administration opened the application process for amendments to the Poisons Standard for the November 2026 scheduling cycle. The updated application form includes guidance notes to assist applicants in completing submissions and navigating relevant sections. Applicants are required to submit all documentation in English, and the deadline for submissions is July 10, 2026, in line with the Scheduling Committee's meeting timelines and decision-making framework.
