On 19 December 2025, the Gene Technology Ministers’ Meeting (GTMM) approved the publication of the National Gene Drive Policy Guide.
The Guide was developed in consultation with all Australian governments and experts from research and industry. The guide will help proponents of gene drive technology understand:
- how gene drive technology and organisms are regulated in Australia
- what to consider before applying for gene drive technology research or environmental release.
Acknowledgement of Stakeholder Contributions
We extend our sincere thanks to all stakeholders who provided feedback during the public consultation on the draft guide. Your input played a vital role in shaping the final version and ensuring it reflects diverse expertise across research, industry, and government.
