Planned maintenance: The ODC Business service within the Health Business Services (HBS) portal will be unavailable from 7:00 pm AEST Thursday 23 July 2026 until 7:00 am AEST Friday 24 July 2026. All other services will remain available during this period.
The Narcotic Drugs Legislation Amendment Act 2016 allows for the protection of sensitive law enforcement information that ODC is required to consider when assessing cannabis licence applications. This means law enforcement agencies can be confident that information provided by them to help assess applications will not be released, which would potentially compromise police operations.
