Medicines and Poisons Act 2019

This section applies in relation to an HDPR authority that, immediately before the commencement, authorised the vice-chancellor of a university, or the vice-chancellor’s delegate, to carry out an activity with a substance under the HDPR, section 179A or 265A.

The HDPR authority continues in effect as if this Act had not commenced until—

if, within 1 year after the commencement, an appropriately qualified officer of the university applies for a substance authority equivalent to the HDPR authority—the day the application for the substance authority is decided; or

otherwise—the day that is 1 year after the commencement.
