Sanofi applauds NIP law change

Posted 2 April 2026 PM

Immunisation advocates and Sanofi are celebrating the passing of a bill in Parliament that expands the scope of the National Immunisation Program (NIP) to enable non-vaccine immunological treatments to be funded.

The National Health Amendment (Passive Immunological Products) Act 2026 broadens the definition of immunisations that can be funded on the NIP to include "a vaccine or immunising agent, that confers protection to persons through active or passive immunity against disease". It has been approved by both Houses of Parliament, and will now pass through the final administrative steps including Royal Assent and formal proclamation.
