Australians aged 18+ will now have access to a fourth COVID-19 vaccine, Nuvaxovid (Novavax) in coming weeks, after the Australian Government accepted advice from the Australian Technical Advisory Group on Immunisation (ATAGI) that it be included in the rollout program. Minister for Health Greg Hunt said the recommendations from ATAGI follow Australia's medicines regulator, the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA), provisionally approving the Novavax vaccine for us in Australia. ATAGI has recommended the Novavax vaccine be given in two doses, at least three weeks apart. Australia has purchased 51 million doses of the Novavax COVID-19 vaccine. Samples of the Novavax vaccines are set to arrive in Australia in early February to enable TGA batch testing. Subject to successful TGA batch testing, the Novavax vaccine will be available to be administered from the week of 21 February 2022.

The Government is giving consumers more power to lower their internet and phone bills by expanding the Consumer Data Right to the telecommunications sector. The Consumer Data Right allows consumers to control the use of their data by trusted third parties so they can more easily compare products and find a better deal. Expanding the Consumer Data Right to the telecommunications sector will allow consumers to access more accurate information about their own internet consumption, phone usage and product plans so they can more easily compare and switch between providers, encouraging more competition, lower prices and more innovative products. Treasurer Josh Frydenberg said the formal designation of telecommunications marks the third sector to be covered by the Consumer Data Right, following its application to the banking sector and expansion to the energy sector.

More than $68 million in Australian Government funding will shore up Australia's agricultural traceability systems and increase access to premium overseas markets. Minister for Agriculture and Northern Australia David Littleproud said investing in strong traceability frameworks and systems could add up to $1 billion a year to the bottom line of Australian farmers. "Australia already has strong traceability systems in place, especially around food safety, origin and biosecurity," Minister Littleproud said. "But we can make these systems stronger by bringing them together with a national approach. "That's why we're working with the states and territories and industry to create the National Agricultural Traceability Alliance and National Agricultural Traceability Hub."
