Authorisation to use ACVMs
If your organisation regularly researches, tests, or teaches with ACVMs, you can get authorisation through either:
- approval of an operating plan (a document that describes the types of activities that you'll be carrying out, and how you'll control them), or
- individual authorisations for every ACVM product you use.
Your organisation may need an approved operating plan for ACVMs if:
- you are using ACVMs under the regulatory exemption for research, testing, or teaching
- non-veterinarians in your organisation use, buy or dispense veterinary medicines.
