In Australia, the Australian Pesticides and Veterinary Medicines Authority (APVMA) is responsible for import, registration, labelling, and regulation of veterinary chemicals up to the point of distribution. The states and territories are responsible for control-of-use legislation. In NSW this is the Stock Medicines Act 1989  which is administered by NSW DPI.

With some restrictions under the Poisons and Therapeutic Goods Act 1966 and the Stock Medicines Act 1989 (most notably in relation to food producing species), the supply options for a veterinarian in NSW include a registered product for that animal species, a registered product for use in another animal species or humans or an unregistered product compounded by either a compounding pharmacy or the veterinarian.
