HR, budget and finance, procurement and facilities management. 2.3 Structure and reporting lines The shift to new operating models provides opportunities to simplify the current structure and provide clearer accountabilities for the APVMA’s service delivery responsibilities. A suggested structure is illustrated in Figure 2 on the next page. The proposed new structure seeks to provide: A single registration executive so there is a line of sight and clearer accountability across the end-to-end registration process Improved coordination between the relationship management (outward facing) and portfolio management (inward facing) functions A clear location for specialist assessments and assurance management of third party assessments A stronger emphasis on science quality and the development of capability A strong Compliance and Monitoring function that is structurally separate from registration and licence approvals An enhanced capability for procurement management and the quality assurance of external providers of non-specialist advice and support. The Registration function includes a broad span of functions that are currently undertaken across two functional units: Registration Management and Evaluation (RME) and Scientific Assessment and Chemical Review (SACR). A single unit would allow for a more integrated approach and more streamlined processing of applications. It will remove many of the costs and complexities associated with managing processes across organisational lines of control.
