The updated Standard will be renamed the Requirements for Haemopoietic Cellular Therapy (seventh edition) (the HCT Standard).
Our consultation is now closing on Friday, 21 August 2026. Don’t miss the opportunity to review the updated Standard and provide feedback.
You can contribute feedback via our online survey or written submission, or participate in an online focus group on either 18 or 20 August 2026.
The revision of the HCT Standard reflects emerging technologies, aligns with international FACT–JACIE standards, and reduces duplication with existing Australian requirements.
The HCT Standard applies to services involved in donor selection, collection, processing, storage or disposal of cellular therapy products.
