Cost Recovery Implementation Statement (CRIS) - Regulation of medicinal cannabis, November 2023

The Cost Recovery Implementation Statement (CRIS) provides information on how the Department of Health and Aged Care implements cost recovery for regulatory activities associated with the Medicinal Cannabis Scheme under the Narcotic Drugs Act 1967.

Cost recovery involves government entities charging individuals or non-government organisations some or all of the efficient costs of a regulatory activity, including for example through application fees or annual charges.

This CRIS reports financial and non-financial performance information for the regulation of medicinal cannabis and contains financial forecasts for 2023-24, 2024-25, 2025-26, and 2026-27. The Department will maintain the CRIS until the activity or cost recovery for the activity is discontinued.
