Newsletter No. 4 - 30 September 2026

The implementation of a new digital system to manage the Authority’s core processes is progressing. Following the recent successful implementation of the annual licence and registration renewals in the new VPA Portal, the current focus of Phase 2 of the project is inspections. Work is also underway to transition applications to the new VPA portal, and this is planned for implementation in the new year.
We look forward to sharing further information as implementation approaches.
