    Remaining consumer pathways closed: no prescription supply, no personal importation, no Special Access or Authorised Prescriber route, no pharmacist compounding.

Where nicotine vending is prohibited the recess stays empty — unless something that is not nicotine goes in it.

The product

Nicotine pouches

Prohibited outright. From 24 July 2026 there is no lawful pathway for a consumer to buy or import nicotine pouches in Australia: they are no longer available on prescription, personal importation is prohibited, access through the Special Access Scheme and the Authorised Prescriber Scheme has been removed, and pharmacists may not compound them. Supply and advertising offences carry penalties up to five years imprisonment and fines above a million dollars. Some states go further — South Australia bans them under its own tobacco and e-cigarette legislation.

What you may put in a machine here

The prohibitions on this page are written for tobacco and nicotine. They do not reach a pouch that contains neither.

  • Snus

    No

    Lawful to sell, but Australia prohibits selling nicotine products from a machine.

  • Nicotine pouches

    No

    Nicotine pouches may not be sold in Australia at all.

  • Nicotine-free pouches

    Yes

    Neither a tobacco nor a nicotine product, so Australia's prohibitions on this page do not apply. Ordinary food and consumer law does.

  • Caffeine & energy pouches

    Yes

    Neither a tobacco nor a nicotine product, so Australia's prohibitions on this page do not apply. Ordinary food and consumer law does.

How you may sell it

From a machine

Closed

May it be sold from a machine?

No lawful route, because there is no lawful route to the product at all. This is the strictest position of any market on this map.

On display

Closed

May it be shown — shelves, cases, branded coolers?

Closed. Advertising these products is an offence in its own right, quite apart from the prohibition on supply.

We work with suppliers across every pouch format and the machines and coolers that dispense them. What we can offer in Australia is set by Australia’s own rules, above — not by what we stock.

Nicotine is closed in Australia, as the page above sets out. Caffeine and nicotine-free pouches are not nicotine products, so those prohibitions do not reach them — and that is what we can match you with here. We do not sell, install, stock or service equipment ourselves.

What would go in it?(choose any)

Greyed-out options may not lawfully be vended in Australia.
