  Drugs, Poisons and Controlled Substances (Precursor Supply) Regulations 2010

S.R. No. 130/2010 

These regulations are from Victoria: They are operational from 01/01/2011

NSW, South Australia, Western Australia and Queensland have legislated elements of the industry Code to varying degrees. The regime introduced in Victoria aligns closely with the NSW scheme to ensure as much consistency as possible across the two states.

You will need to check your own state’s legislation.

It follows a COAG agreement following extensive industry consultations last year.

It is based on PACIA and industry documents and is designed to stop supply of chemicals and equipment to clandestine laboratories.

The onus in Victoria seems to be on suppliers and industry and I have written to the Dept Justice Vic seeking clarification re laboratories

Suppliers will  likely ask your   people for the declaration of intent etc.    

Because OHS often controls chemicals that is  why it may  end up in your court.
