Background
The APVMA is seeking feedback on its revised stakeholder engagement model.
The APVMA has reviewed its engagement practices based on:
- recommendations made by independent reviews of the APVMA
- the findings of the 2024 stakeholder and public survey
- and a review of engagement practices used by comparable organisations.
This review found that many stakeholders believe the APVMA’s current engagement processes are inconsistent, fragmented, and uncollaborative. The review also identified gaps in the stakeholder groups the APVMA engages with, and the mechanisms used to engage.
The APVMA now seeks feedback on a proposed alternative model as we aim to deliver a more collaborative, transparent and dynamic experience for our stakeholders as they engage with us. The proposed model is designed to deliver a more streamlined consultation and engagement process with participation from a broader range of stakeholders.
Please note: Submissions will be published on the APVMA’s website, unless you have asked for the submission to remain confidential (see public submission coversheet).
