- Since the October 2024 TGA reforms, all vapes (nicotine or not) are prescription-only and sold only through pharmacies — personal importation is banned.
- An undeclared apple or sandwich from the plane is enough to trigger a biosecurity infringement, regardless of intent.
JURISDICTION NOTES
- Each state and territory has its own drug schedules, with the ACT decriminalising small personal cannabis amounts while NSW and Queensland do not.
- Biosecurity declarations are enforced uniformly at every international airport, with on-the-spot fines starting around AUD 2,664.
