Prepare a clear, complete efficacy submission with instructional templates from the Australian Pesticides and Veterinary Medicines Authority (APVMA).

The templates help you include the required information in a clear format supporting efficient APVMA assessment and reducing the likelihood of requests for further information during our evaluation.

Developed in consultation with industry stakeholders, the templates cover both agricultural and veterinary chemical applications.

Efficacy instructional templates for agricultural chemical products

Three templates are available to provide guidance and examples on the required structure and content for agricultural efficacy and crop safety overviews. The templates are provided for crops, non-crop situations, and permit applications.

  1. Efficacy and Crop Safety Overview – Instructional Template (Crops)
  2. Efficacy Overview – Instructional Template (Non-crop situations)
  3. Efficacy and Crop Safety Overview – Instructional Template (Permits)

Efficacy instructional templates for veterinary medicine products

A template is available to help applicants present the information required to support efficacy and target animal safety assessments for new veterinary medicine products.

  1. Efficacy and Target Animal Safety Overview (Executive Summary) Instructional Template

Use of the instructional templates

While use of the templates is not mandatory, it is strongly recommended. 

Applicants who choose not to use the template will benefit from following the same structure, section sequence and headings, or clearly cross-references where each requirement has been addressed.
