Abstract: The Australian Government launched the kava pilot program to ease import regulations on kava, aiming to strengthen cultural and economic ties between Australia and Pacific Island countries. Implemented in two phases, personal importation in 2019 and commercial importation in 2021, the program was accompanied by a concurrent evaluation. The evaluation examined the health, social, cultural and economic impacts of the pilot program on the Australian community. Findings indicate support for the program; however, ongoing monitoring is necessary, especially among groups at risk of harm. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
