World Rugby has extended the break for professional players diagnosed with a concussion from seven to 12 days.
The changes will be implemented by the sport's world governing body from July 1, meaning they will be implemented for the Wallabies' test versus England at Perth's Optus Stadium the following day.
The decision follows recommendations by an independent concussion working group that followed a review of the latest scientific evidence.
As it stands, players who fail a head-injury assessment during a game can be back on the field seven days later - if they follow return-to-play protocols.
This new criteria will also be in place for the Ireland v All Blacks clash at Eden Park on July 2 as well
