Consultation on the draft National Gene Drive Policy Guide

We invited stakeholders to provide feedback on the draft National Gene Drive Policy Guide. Learn more about this consultation.

About the consultation

Consultation on the draft National Gene Drive Policy Guide was open from 4 January 2024 to 3 March 2024 and 16 submissions were received. Once all submissions have been considered, the feedback will help inform any improvements before being considered by gene technology ministers.

The guide has been developed to help stakeholders understand:

  • the regulation of gene drive organisms
  • what to consider before applying for gene drive technology research or environmental release.

Thank you to all stakeholders who provided their views on the draft policy guide.

What happens next

Subject to the Gene Technology Ministers’ Meeting agreement, the final publication will be made available. This will be a valuable resource to provide guidance to potential users of gene drive technology.
