APVMA is an Australian government authority responsible for the assessment and registration of pesticides and veterinary medicines and for their regulation up to and including the point of retail sale. The APVMA administers the National Registration Scheme for Agricultural and Veterinary Chemicals (NRS) in partnership with the States and Territories and with the active involvement of other Australian government agencies. Our role is to independently evaluate the safety and performance of chemical products intended for sale, making sure that the health and safety of people, animals and the environment are protected. Only products that meet these high standards are allowed to be supplied. We also do not register products if their use is likely to jeopardise trade or they don’t work. To ensure that only products that meet APVMA requirements are actually supplied, we constantly monitor the market for compliance. The APVMA also reviews older chemicals to make that they continue to meet contemporary high standards. 61 2 6770 2300 enquiries@apvma.gov.au Postal address: GPO Box 574, Canberra ACT 2601, Australia
