Many of these, but not all, need to be registered by the APVMA. To help potential applicants or veterinary product developers navigate the complexities of the Agvet Code, which determines the need to register particular products, the APVMA has today introduced a web-based resource—a Registration Self-assessment Tool (veterinary)—that will simplify this process.
