Animal Welfare Act 1999

Codes of welfare

78: Review of code of welfare

You could also call this:

"Checking if animal welfare rules are working and need changes"

The National Animal Welfare Advisory Committee can review any code of welfare at any time. They can look at the whole code or just a part of it. If the Minister asks them to review a code, they must do it. When the Committee reviews a code, they follow the same rules as if they were making a new recommendation to the Minister, using the guidelines in sections 71 to 75. You can think of this review process like checking if the rules for animal welfare are working well and if they need to be changed.
