Submissions in response to the Issues Paper are now open.
The Issues Paper introduces our inquiry and explains what we have been asked to do. It provides a brief overview of human tissue laws.
The Issues Paper also sets out some aims and principles we may use to guide reform and lists some reform issues that appear to be a high priority. We are interested to know your thoughts about these; or any other aims, principles, or issues you want us to consider.
There are eight questions in the Issues Paper that you may wish to answer. We are asking these questions to help us identify good aims and principles for human tissue laws and law reform, and the issues that we should address when we develop our ideas for reform. You do not need to answer any of the questions. You may want to tell us about your own ideas for reform.
You are also welcome to comment on any other matters mentioned in the Terms of Reference.
Submissions will close on 4 July 2025.

We know that making a submission can be time-consuming and sometimes difficult. We also know that people have competing demands on their time and resources. We are asking for submissions now to help us identify the issues we should address when we develop our ideas for reform. If you cannot make a submission now, there will be another opportunity to make a submission when we publish our Discussion Paper. The Discussion Paper will contain ideas for reform and ask for feedback on those ideas. You are welcome to make a submission in response to one or both of our papers, however you think best. |
