Submissions

The AVA highlights significant concerns and adverse effects in its submission to NSW Ministry of Health on the proposed new NSW Medicines, Poisons, and Therapeutic Goods Regulation.

Veterinarian subject matter experts from the AVA’s member body provided comment on the Proposed Wildlife Trade Management Plan: Victorian Kangaroo Harvest Management Plan 2024-2028 for consideration as an approved WTMP under section 303FO of the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (EPBC Act).

The AVA provided a submission to the WA Government on the development of regulations relating to the sterilisation of dogs, pet shops, dog supply approval, approval to breed, microchipping and dog registrations.

The Australian Veterinary Association supports the primary thrust of the proposed amendments to the Kosciuszko National Park Wild Horse Management Plan 2021 (KWHMP 2021), as they align with our policy on the control of feral horses and other Equidae.

The AVA has consulted with the ACT Division Committee and the Unusual Pet and Avian Veterinarians (UPAV) Executive Committee to seek expert member input to inform this submission on the proposed new Small Mammal Code of Practice (CoP). Members of the AVA ACT Division Committee and the UPAV Executive Committee who have extensive expertise and experience in this area have been the contributors to this feedback.
