Major changes involve adding 5 new ingredients (Bacillus subtilis, behentrimonium metilsulfate, D-glucose polymer with xylitol, 1,8,12-bisabolatriene, polyglyceryl-2 isostearate) and revising requirements for 4 ingredients (beeswax alcohols, Euglena gracilis whole cell dry, Litchi chinensis, nonivamide). The new regulation came into force on 14 June 2024. In Australia, vitamin and herbal supplements are regulated as complementary medicines by the TGA. Most complementary medicines are included in the Australian Register of Therapeutic Goods (ARTG) as listed medicines.
