From www.claytonutz.com: Australia will implement a ban on the import, export, use, and manufacture of three types of PFAS: PFOS, PFOA, and PFHxS, effective from July 1, 2025.

These chemicals, deemed high-risk for causing environmental harm, are included in the Industrial Chemicals Environmental Management Standard (IChEMS) Register.

While some states, like Queensland and New South Wales, have begun incorporating these prohibitions into their legislation, others are still in the process of implementation, and businesses are advised to seek specific guidance regarding compliance.
