Welcome to the spring edition of Quit Centre Quarterly.
From 1 October 2024 significant changes in Australia’s vaping regulations under The Therapeutic Goods and Other Legislation Amendment (Vaping Reforms) Act 2024 will take effect. Subject to state and territory requirements and to a pharmacist's guidance and assessment, therapeutic vapes containing nicotine or a zero-nicotine substance will be available for supply in pharmacy settings to patients 18 years or over without a prescription.
We welcome Nurse Advisor Stacey Ridley to the Quit Centre team, bringing valuable knowledge and insights on smoking and vaping cessation from a nursing perspective. We encourage you to explore the latest tools, resources and training, and we look forward to supporting you in the months ahead.
