The Centre for Regulation and Enforcement is a dedicated unit, strengthening compliance and enforcement of tobacco and vaping laws across NSW. It operates across metropolitan, rural, and remote locations to ensure a consistent, calibrated, and effective compliance approach.
The Centre for Regulation and Enforcement works closely with the state and federal agencies, including the Australian Border Force, NSW Police and the Therapeutic Goods Administration, on intelligence-sharing, joint operations, and regulatory alignment, ensuring a unified approach to enforcement.
NSW Health Inspectors educate retailers, seize and destroy illicit tobacco products and vaping goods, issue warnings and fines, and can initiate prosecutions against retailers and wholesalers that break the law.
