We are responsible for ensuring the effective compliance of licence and permit holders under the Narcotic Drugs Act 1967. Non-compliance may be detected through monitoring activities such as site inspections. These infringement notices provide a warning to licence holders to take compliance seriously.
If you suspect non-compliance in relation to medicinal cannabis cultivation or manufacture, you can report potentially illegal or questionable practices to us using our ODC tip-off form.
