Active constituent applications guidance

The APVMA is aware that overseas holders are not currently able to submit item 24V applications through the online services portal. We are looking at rectifying this issue and until this is rectified overseas holders are requested to submit an item 18 application instead, noting in their executive summary that they would have submitted the application as an item 24V (specifying the modules that would have been included), and requesting a fee waiver for the cost difference. 

Infringement notices

The Australian Pesticides and Veterinary Medicines Authority (APVMA) has reviewed and revoked the information ‘Infringement Notice Guideline’ as a guideline made pursuant to section 6A of the Agricultural and Veterinary Chemicals Code scheduled to the Agricultural and Veterinary Chemicals Code Act 1994 (Cth) (Agvet Code), as it does not meet the intent of section 6A guidelines. However, the information contained within however may still be useful and relevant to applicants, so it has been retained for information purposes.
