There are two Advisory Bodies that play important roles within the PMRA. They provide strategic advice and recommendations on economic management, policies and other issues relating to federal pest management.

The Economic Management Advisory Committee (EMAC) was established in April 1997 to advise the Executive Director of the PMRA on specific ways to improve efficiency and cost effectiveness without compromising health or environmental protection and while maintaining industry competitiveness.

The Pest Management Advisory Council (PMAC), established in November 1998, is a multi-stakeholder group that fosters communication and dialogue among stakeholders and with PMRA, and provides advice to the Minister of Health on policies and issues relating to the federal pest management regulatory system.
