Public consultation: chemical review reprioritisation process

Using current information and in collaboration with the Department of Health, the Department of the Environment and the states and territories, the APVMA has undertaken a process of re-examining the basis for the nomination of chemicals on the priority candidate review list.

The outcome of this process is the decision to retain 25 chemicals on the list. As some chemicals will be jointly assessed, this results in 19 actual reviews.

The APVMA is inviting written submissions from interested stakeholders to assist with prioritising these reviews via public consultation.
