When a new Order in Council is made, you need to know that it has been created. The Order in Council is a special kind of rule made by the government. You can find out about the Order in Council through a notice.

A notice is used to tell people that the Order in Council has been made. The notice is like an announcement that lets you know what is happening. It is used to inform you about the new rule.

The rule about notices for Orders in Council was changed on 9 May 2021 by section 9 of the Animal Welfare Amendment Act (No 2) 2015. This change meant that the old rule was repealed, or cancelled. Now, the old rule does not apply anymore.
