Whats coming up

ACVM Act changes

MAF Policy is preparing a public discussion paper on proposed changes to the ACVM Act. The discussion paper will be advised in AgVetLink and will be available on the ACVM part of the website.

ACVM Fees Regulations

The long promised review of ACVM fees and charges is being worked on by the ACVM Group and MAF Policy. We expect to have a public discussion document out within the month and to discuss proposals at the next AVMAC meeting and at the workshops planned for late February (see below). The review will use the same basis and policies as were applied for the original fees and charges – details will be available on the website. It is expected that any new fees and charges will take effect on 1 July 2002.

ACVM Regulations changes

Changes to the GRAS lists, the prohibition of some substances as agricultural compounds, and additions to the exemptions list are being made. Keep watching the ACVM website for details.

ACVM Transfer Regulations

The proposal to transfer animal remedies and pesticides to the ACVM Act effective from 1 July 2002 is still on track.

ACVM Workshops

The ACVM Group will run another series of workshops on ACVM Act applications in late February.

This is your opportunity to come along with any comments or queries. At this stage workshops are planned for the following dates and venues:

You will need to register your interest (see insert with this AgVetLink or registration information can be found on the website). There will be a charge to cover catering.
