The Australian Pesticides and Veterinary Medicines Authority (APVMA) invites written submissions on the proposed regulatory decisions for the reconsideration of anticoagulant rodenticides, which was published in the APVMA Special Gazette on 16 December 2025.
All submissions related to the scientific information used and methods of the assessments conducted by the APVMA will be considered prior to finalisation of the reconsideration and publication of the final regulatory decision.
Submissions related to commercial or financial impacts will be noted, however these cannot be considered by the APVMA to determine whether a chemical meets the statutory criteria (safety, efficacy, trade and labelling) in the Agvet Code.
