Abstract

Recognising the cultural and economic significance of kava for Pacific Island nations, the Australian Government lifted importation restrictions and launched a kava pilot program over two phases: 1. December 2019 – increase in individual passenger limit of kava from 2kg to 4kg 2. December 2021 – allow commercial importation of kava for use as a food. The aims of the kava pilot program are to: provide greater access to kava in Australia without compromising public health and safety; understand the social, cultural, economic and health effects of increased availability; ensure respectful integration of commercial importation with State and Territory regulations; and increase trade opportunities for Australia and Pacific Island countries. To determine the impact of the pilot program, a monitoring and evaluation program was conducted between April 2021 to August 2023 by the National Drug and Alcohol Research Centre (NDARC) and Ninti One (Ninti), in collaboration with other partners and overseen by a Project Advisory Group.
