The location restrictions came into force in October 2022. The restrictions prohibit the placement of less healthy products in key selling locations such as store entrances, aisle ends, checkouts and their online equivalents.

The Department is currently conducting a post implementation review to evaluate the implementation and effectiveness of the restrictions, which will be published within five years of implementation.
