Animal Welfare Act 1999

Use of animals in research, testing, and teaching - Codes of ethical conduct

94: Duration of approval

You could also call this:

"How long an animal welfare approval lasts"

When a code of ethical conduct is approved under section 91, it is approved for a certain period. This period cannot be more than 5 years from the date the approval is published in the Gazette. The Director-General decides the exact period and includes it in the notice of approval. You can find more information about this in other parts of the law, such as sections 95 and 96. The approval period is affected by these other sections.
