Proposed Industry Day location

The Australian Pesticides and Veterinary Medicines Authority (APVMA) is seeking to improve the way we regulate agricultural and veterinary chemicals and ensure stakeholder issues and concerns are understood and considered in our work.

As part of this, we are looking at how we can strengthen stakeholder engagement with different groups through collaboration and consultation. We have received feedback that stakeholders would like to attend a face-to-face industry event hosted by the APVMA.
