The Australian Pesticides and Veterinary Medicines Authority (APVMA) has published 3 new Instructional Templates.
- Efficacy and Crop Safety Overview – Instructional Template (Crops)
- Efficacy Overview – Instructional Template (Non-crop situations)
- Efficacy and Crop Safety Overview – Instructional Template (Permits)
The templates provide guidance and examples on the structure and content that is required in Efficacy and Crop Safety Overviews, supporting applications for new agricultural products and new uses.
The templates were drafted in consultation with stakeholders during 2 Efficacy Workshops held on 21 May and 1 July 2025.
The use of these templates is not mandatory but is strongly recommended. Using the templates will help to ensure all necessary information is provided and presented in a manner that will assist the APVMA in the evaluation of your application, reducing the likelihood of requests for further information during the assessment.
The APVMA aims to develop completed examples to further assist stakeholders in their applications. Continued feedback from users on the content of these templates is welcomed and can be provided via the following address Efficacy@apvma.gov.au.
