Tobacco licensing

Tough new controls and penalties relating to the sale of tobacco products in Victoria started on 1 July 2025. From 1 February 2026, Tobacco Licensing Victoria will start enforcing the scheme. Businesses who haven’t applied for a licence before that time can’t sell tobacco and will commit an offence if they do.
