The Manufacturing Quality and Licensing (MQL) Team are temporarily extending the timeframe for completing audit reviews. During the period 1 August 2024 to 30 June 2025, the Australian Pesticides and Veterinary Medicines Authority (APVMA) will target completing 90% of audits within 4 months of receiving the information. From 1 July 2025, the APVMA will return to the current completion target of 90% of audits within 3 months.
This extension will allow the MQL team to focus on key areas including training new staff members and reviewing the new Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) Audit procedure and Australian Code of Good Manufacturing Practice for Veterinary Chemical Products.
The MQL team understands that some audits may need to be prioritised. Any priority requests should be directed to the Assistant Director in MQL for consideration where capacity allows.
