community, users, and the\nregulated industry.\n• Risk management measures should be reviewed as\nnew information becomes available.\n• The system should be efficient, and outcomes focused\nby making

(Clayton Utz 2023:16)\nAlthough it is not possible to conclusively make a determination on the basis of the\nmaterial reviewed for this Report, the information available suggests that there is a\nrisk that the APVMA’s objective of timeliness may have been pursued to the detriment\nof other regulatory activities, including investigations, monitoring, compliance and\nenforcement.

to respond to issues raised by staff also contributed to shortfalls in complaint handling and\nmanagement of people issues (Matthews 2023:13), resulting in an environment where ‘isolated from\nthe

experience’ (Matthews 2023:15), and consequently ‘there was reduced understanding of how\nto apply public service values in the myriad of different situations’ (Matthews 2023:16). ‘The new\nculture

to respond to issues raised by staff also contributed to shortfalls in complaint handling and\nmanagement of people issues (Matthews 2023:13), resulting in an environment where ‘isolated from\nthe

also supported capability uplift and improved\ncommunication pathways by implementing:\n• a renewed focus on the APS Values and Code of Conduct (APSC 2022a), including launching a set\nof APVMA-specific values and behaviours\n• a new Risk Framework which communicates the APVMA’s risk appetite\n• a refreshed Integrity Framework which describes responsibilities and obligations for employees\nand managers\n• public interest disclosure training and awareness, and the establishment of public interest\ndisclosure officers to protect whistleblowers\n• new workplace contact officer
