About us
Oberon Consulting Services provides specialised regulatory compliance solutions for international chemical innovators entering the Australian market. Based in Canberra, we act as a dedicated bridge to the AICIS framework, ensuring your technical evaluations, chemical categorisations, and statutory registrations are executed with absolute precision, security, and efficiency.
Our Services
We provide comprehensive, desk-based regulatory support to ensure international chemical introductions align perfectly with Australian statutory frameworks.
AICIS Chemical Categorisation & Regulatory Mapping
We systematically evaluate your technical dossiers, safety data sheets, and chemical properties against the Australian Industrial Chemicals Introduction Scheme (AICIS) guidelines. We determine whether your substance qualifies as a Listed, Exempted, Reported, or Assessed introduction, preventing costly compliance errors before your goods reach the border.
Resident Nominated Agent Representation
For overseas manufacturers seeking to introduce industrial chemicals without establishing a local Australian corporate presence, we act as your authorised resident Nominated Agent. We manage your statutory record-keeping mandates, handle official declaration submissions, and serve as your direct point of contact for Australian regulatory audits.
Reporting, Submissions & Post-Introduction Declarations
We manage the end-to-end administrative compilation and secure lodgement of AICIS Pre-Introduction Reports (PIRs) and annual declarations. By ensuring every operational parameter and toxicological exposure data metric is precisely presented, we eliminate regulatory processing bottlenecks.
FAQ
This is a description, explain what this section is all about in a few sentences. Highlight key points or benefits.
Registration and categorisation are separate statutory obligations under the Industrial Chemicals Act 2019. Registration is a mandatory annual process for the business entity itself, which must be finalised before any industrial chemicals are imported or manufactured. Categorisation is the technical, data-driven process applied to each individual chemical ingredient to determine its specific regulatory pathway based on human health and environmental risk profiles.
Under the AICIS framework, certain reporting mechanisms, confidential business information (CBI) applications, and official declarations require a local presence. If an overseas entity does not maintain a registered Australian corporate office, they can formally appoint a resident Nominated Agent to satisfy statutory record-keeping mandates, manage submissions, and act as the authorised point of contact for Australian regulatory audits.
To precisely map and execute your compliance filings, we require the complete technical dossier of the chemical introduction. This typically includes the Chemical Abstracts Service (CAS) number, exact formulation percentages, safety data sheets (SDS), operational parameters (such as intended end-use concentration), and any existing toxicological or environmental exposure data sheets.
