Draft Stock Medicines Regulation 2024

What’s this about?

The NSW Government is seeking your feedback on proposed changes to the Stock Medicines Regulation 2019 (the SM Regulation).

These clarify requirements related to managing stock medicines used to treat livestock and other animals.

These changes are included in the draft Stock Medicines Regulation 2024 (the draft Regulation) that will replace the SM Regulation on 1 September 2024 in accordance with the Subordinate Legislation Act 1989.

Stock medicines play a crucial role in improving productivity and boosting the gross value of production across various agricultural commodities in NSW. 

The SM Regulation supports the Stock Medicines Act 1989 (the SM Act) and assists in laying the foundation for the strategic and coordinated management of stock medicines.

The draft SM Regulation proposes minor changes to make the SM Regulation clearer and easier to understand. 

These changes do not alter the function or outcome of the regulation.  

Prior to providing feedback, respondents are encouraged to review the following documentation: 

• Regulatory Impact Statement (this includes a summary and analysis of proposed regulatory amendments)
• Draft Stock Medicines Regulation 2024.

The review of feedback from the consultation process will be reviewed through July to August 2024.
