Submissions

The AVA lodged a submission to the recent NSW Legislative Council's Inquiry into the Management of Cat Populations.

The APVMA has requested stakeholder input in relation to the proposed guidelines for determining a minor use. Minor use permits are issued to allow for the legal use of AgVet chemicals in situations where registration of the product would not produce sufficient economic return. A minor use may include use on a minor crop, animal or non-crop situation, or limited use on a major crop, animal or situation.

The AVA’s submission in response to the proposed amendments to the South Australian Dog and Cat Management Act advocates pausing the legislative changes to develop a comprehensive, evidence-based Cat Management Strategy before proceeding with amendments.

The AVA's submission to the 2024 review of the NT Animal Protection Act recommends a series of reforms to align the legislation with contemporary animal welfare standards.

The AVA has provided a detailed submission on the AAWS discussion paper, with AVA members joining focus group meetings with DAFF.
