Illustration for Human Assisted Reproductive Technology Act 2004

The advisory committee can only issue guidelines after they have talked about them with interested parties and the public. They must give people a reasonable chance to make submissions on the proposed guidelines. The committee must then think about these submissions before issuing the guidelines. When the advisory committee issues guidelines, they must send copies to the Minister, the Director-General of Health, the ethics committee, and providers.
