QUEENSLAND MEDICINE AND POISONS.
Independant Compliance Authority Advisor.
CDSafe Consulting is led by a consultant with over 20 years regulatory experience across the full breadth of public health, specialising in medicines and poisons - a depth of regulator-side experience that is rare in the consulting market.
That means we work from the assessor's point of view, not just the applicant's. We know what a Self-Audit Checklist needs to demonstrate, what a Substance Management Plan review actually tests for, and where SAS sponsors and distributors most often lose time and credibility with regulators.
We work exclusively within Queensland's medicines, poisons, public health, food and tobacco legislation - a deliberate focus, not a limitation.

In-depth guidance on the Medicines and Poisons Act 2019 and the Medicines and Poisons (Medicines) Regulation 2021, including substance authorities, medicine approvals for controlled substances and internal compliance audits for prescribers, dispensers, wholesalers and distributors. Assistance with reportable incidents, development and improvement of substance management plans, review incidents and regulatory inspection preparedness.
Assistance with Food Act 2006 requirements, such as food safety programs, licensing, inspections, and risk management to prevent health hazards and ensure regulatory adherence.
Support for compliance with the Tobacco and Other Smoking Products Act 1998, including retail licensing, advertising restrictions, and smoke-free environments (Outdoor eating and drinking - DOSA's).
Customised training sessions, compliance reviews and ongoing advisory services to help clients maintain authorisations, mitigate risks and navigate legislative updates effectively.
Some consultants have learned the regulations from the outside. We spent over 20 years inside Queensland Health both as the inspector and as a decision maker. We know what approving officer looks for, what raises questions and where well-meaning businesses quietly fall short.
We're not here to replace them. An independent review from a former regulator gives you a second set of eyes from the other side of the desk; a view of your applications, systems and records as an approving officer or investigator would see them, before they do.
Compliance and risk aren't always the same thing. We identify gaps that don't breach a requirement today, but can potentially create a public health risk or regulatory exposure tomorrow, and we tell you plainly, because that's what you need to hear.
We review your internal systems against the legislation, from Substance Management Plans and Schedule 8 controls to record-keeping and incident response, and identify where processes can be tightened, streamlined or scaled for growth.
Our services are specifically designed and tailored to meet your business needs and circumstances.
