The Australian Pesticides and Veterinary Medicines Authority (APVMA) has published the updated guidelines for determining minor use.
The new guidelines will come into effect on 5 August 2025. Prior to this, the APVMA will contact permit holders directly via email to manage the transition to the new guidance.
Implementation of the new guidelines will be accompanied by a 12 month phase-in period, as outlined in the transition map.
A detailed response addressing the consultation feedback has now been published on apvma.gov.au.
Enquiries about the new guidelines should be sent to enquiries@apvma.gov.au.
