The APVMA prepares statistical reports of its performance in undertaking its regulatory obligations.

The APVMA presents statistics on a range of areas, including:

• chemical product registration
• active ingredient approvals
• permits issued
• veterinary manufacturers licensing and auditing
• preliminary assessment and pre-application assistance.

The report includes:

• the number of applications commenced and finalised
• the proportion of applications finalised within legislative timeframes
• work in progress at the end of the time period.

In April 2016, the APVMA commissioned Oakton, our external auditors, to analyse timeframe performance before and after the implementation of new legislation on 1 July 2014 and the resulting changes to 'clock' definitions. The objective was to determine how long the APVMA actually took in making a decision and whether this had changed over the last five years.

View the Oakton report and the results of the analysis of our timeframe performance.

We value your feedback, so that we can improve future reports.
