AICIS published a notice confirming there are no changes to fees and levies for the 2025–26 period; existing registration levies and introduction value thresholds continue unchanged for the registration year starting 1 September 2025. Compliance and finance teams can maintain existing budgeting assumptions for registration and levy planning for the 2025–26 year.
AICIS opened the 2025–26 registration period (1 September 2025 to 31 August 2026). The notice reiterates that it is an offence under the Industrial Chemicals Act 2019 to introduce an industrial chemical without an active AICIS registration. Compliance teams should ensure registration is active before any import/manufacture introductions during the registration year and align internal controls to avoid unregistered introductions.
AICIS (Executive Director) varied the terms of Australian Inventory of Industrial Chemicals (AIIC) listings for 2,297 chemicals under section 85 of the Industrial Chemicals Act 2019, specifically varying the “specific information requirement (SIR)” term. The stated purpose is to add additional information to the listings to make it easier for introducers to understand what information they must provide to AICIS. AICIS indicates the variations have no regulatory impact (i.e., obligations are not changed, but clarified/administratively detailed). Compliance teams should review whether any listed introductions they manage are among the affected chemicals and ensure internal SIR workflows and training reflect the clarified listing information.
AICIS published an official notice confirming there are no changes to AICIS fees and levies for the 2025–26 registration year and referenced the 2025–26 Cost Recovery Implementation Statement (CRIS). The CRIS states the regulatory charges are to be applied from 1 September 2025. This is operationally relevant for compliance budgeting and registration planning for introducers, confirming continuity in the cost recovery settings for the period.
