Tools Offence lookup (GOAT)

How do I check a drug's schedule, quantities and diversion eligibility?

Type the drug’s name, formal or street, into the drug lookup and Acquit returns its Queensland schedule, the Schedule 3 and Schedule 4 specified quantities, and the police diversion limit. Common street names are recognised, so ice resolves to methylamphetamine and the result tells you what it matched.

Where to find it
  • The GOAT Tool drawer: switch to the Drugs tab. Quickest when you are mid-task and just need a quantity or a diversion answer.
  • The full-page GOAT Tool (ToolsThe GOAT Tool): the Drug schedules & limits section sits below the offence lookup.
  • The Drug Schedules & Limits card on the Tools page, if the drug question is all you came for.
Reading the result
  • Drug schedule: which Drugs Misuse Regulation schedule the drug sits in, Schedule 1 (including steroids in Part 2) or Schedule 2.
  • Schedule 3 and Schedule 4 quantities: these set the maximum penalty for possession under s9 of the Drugs Misuse Act and, absent a commercial purpose, whether the charge is heard summarily or on indictment.
  • Police diversion limit: the amount below which a minor drugs offence for personal use may be eligible for police drug diversion. Other conditions apply, so this is a threshold question, not the whole answer. Where a limit is expressed in tickets, tabs or pills, the result states what counts as one.

Every result cites its source regulation and the version it is current to. The tables are re-extracted from the current Queensland regulations rather than kept as a static copy. This is reference material, so verify against the legislation before you rely on it.

Note: the drug lookup is also on the free public page at acquit.app/goat if you need to share it with someone who doesn’t have an account.
