Uniform Legislation and Statutes Review Committee· 27 February 2024general_report

The WA parliamentary committee reviewed the Therapeutic Goods Law Application Bill 2023, which aims to apply the Commonwealth's Therapeutic Goods Act 1989 as WA law.

It made recommendations to address these concerns while supporting national consistency.

Impact

Therapeutic goods manufacturers, suppliers, and consumers in WA will be affected. The changes aim to balance national consistency with WA's parliamentary sovereignty.
