Update to Rolling Action Plan – 14 October 2025

We've updated our Rolling Action Plan (RAP) to include an evaluation on the introduction and use of 522 per- and poly-fluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) under section 74 of the Industrial Chemicals Act 2019 (IC Act).

For each evaluation listed on our RAP, we list the subject, reason, focus and period within which the evaluation will be conducted.

The evaluation includes 522 PFAS listed on the Australian Inventory of Industrial Chemicals (the listed PFAS).

This evaluation will confirm whether the listed PFAS are being introduced or are in use in Australia and, if so:

• what they are used for, and
• in what volume they are being introduced

to consider which PFAS should be the subject of a further evaluation.

As part of the evaluation, the AICIS Executive Director will require AICIS registrants to provide information on whether or not they import or manufacture PFAS in Australia. For more information on this, read the web statement about the information required on introductions of PFAS in Australia.
