When: From 11 August 2021
What: This relates to display, promotion, advice, age information, packaging, safety requirements, annual reporting and returns, fees and levies. The provisions of the Act are being phased in over 15 months, so some provisions are already in effect and some, like the ones mentioned here, are taking effect further down track. From 11 November 2021, the transitional period for retailers ends, meaning transitional specialist vaping retailers will no longer exist. There is a new platform to register/ apply for notifications and retailers. This is called HARP (health advisory regulatory platform).
Why: The aim of these new regulations is to strike a balance between ensuring vaping products are available for smoker who want to switch to a less harmful alternative and making sure these products aren’t marketed or sold to young people.
