Consultation on the Agricultural and Veterinary Chemicals Legislation Amendment (Operational Efficiency) Bill 2017

Access to state-of-the-art agvet chemicals is crucial to improving the productivity and sustainability of Australian agriculture. This requires the efficient and timely processing of agvet chemical registration applications by the Australian Pesticides and Veterinary Medicines Authority (APVMA). Accordingly, the farming community welcomes this consultation and is of the view that the proposed Bill would help to streamline agricultural chemicals and veterinary medicines (agvet chemicals) regulation in Australia.
