The Governor-General can make rules about checking some things. You need to check risk management programmes, regulated control schemes, and animal products. The Governor-General can also make rules about how often and how thoroughly you check these things.

The rules can say what parts of the operations must be checked. They can also set requirements for how often and how thoroughly you check. You can find more information about risk management programmes in section 17.

The rules can also say what verifiers and verifying agencies can and cannot do. They can set requirements for reporting, and you can find more information about this in section 112H. The rules can also explain how verification functions and activities are managed, and you can find more information about this in sections 112G and 112H.

These rules are a type of law, and you can find more information about how they are published in Part 3 of the Legislation Act 2019.
