In Australia, Mozzie Protection Isn't Just a Suggestion—It’s a Science.
Let’s be real: we’ve all been stuck at a BBQ being eaten alive, willing to try anything to make the itching stop. But in Australia, "anything" isn't always good enough.
Any product that claims to repel mosquitoes must be assessed and approved by the Australian Pesticides and Veterinary Medicines Authority
This isn’t just paperwork. It’s about safety, science and legal accountability.
APVMA registration confirms that:
- The active ingredients have been evaluated
- The efficacy claims have been assessed
- The product meets Australian safety standards
- The labelling complies with national regulations
In simple terms — the product does what it says it does.
Why This Is Important in Australia
Australia has unique mosquito species and environmental conditions (yes, we know!). Repellents made for overseas markets may not meet local regulatory standards.
If a product claims to:
- Repel mosquitoes
- Provide X hours of protection
- Protect against specific biting insects
It must legally hold an APVMA approval number.
No exceptions — including “natural” products.
Mozzigear’s Commitment to Compliance
From the very beginning, Mozzigear has operated with APVMA registration for applicable products.
That decision wasn’t about marketing. It was about doing things properly.
It means:
- Our mosquito repellent claims are regulated
- Our labelling is compliant
- Our safety data has been reviewed
- Our products are approved for Australian conditions
We didn’t wait until it became important. It has always been important.
How Consumers Can Check Any Brand
If you’re unsure about a mosquito repellent product, follow this steps:
- Look for “APVMA Approval No.” on the packaging.
- Search the APVMA public database.
- Be cautious of products making repellent claims without a registration number.
Transparency should never be hidden.
