Submissions requested on potential health impacts of PFAS contamination
The Department of Health has established an Expert Health Panel for PFAS to advise the Australian Government on the potential health impacts associated with Per- and Poly-fluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS) exposure and to identify priority areas for further research. To achieve its objective, the Expert Health Panel will take into account the evidence available from both Australian and international scientific research into the potential human health effects of PFAS exposure, and consider the views of the public and other stakeholders through an invitation for public written submissions.
The Expert Health Panel is now inviting submissions to better understand the range of public views on the potential health impacts of PFAS contamination and what the focus of future research should be. Allen + Clarke, an independent firm, has been engaged by the Department of Health to conduct the public consultation and report the findings back to the Expert Health Panel.
For more information on the work of the Panel including its Terms of Reference and how to contribute to the public consultation process please visit health.gov.au/pfas.
