We’ll cover the latest developments in our sectors’ main ESG areas, including:

• Biodiversity and nature: digital sequence information and the Cali Fund after COP17.
• Modern slavery: latest developments.

The session is open to all Member staff working on or with an interest in sustainability, regulatory or corporate affairs. Please share the invitation with colleagues who may be interested.

Insight Hour with the TGA on exempt goods proposals

When: Tuesday 8 December 2026, 2–3pm AEDT
Where: Online via MS Teams

Join us for an Accord Insight Hour with the TGA’s Medical Device and Product Quality Division.

The TGA expects to publish its exempt goods notification proposals for consultation by the end of November. Tampons, menstrual cups and disinfectants are among the products in scope, so the changes matter to a number of our Members.

Hear directly from the Division as it outlines the proposals and put your questions directly to the regulator.
