111: Applications for accreditation

You could also call this:

"How to apply for animal welfare accreditation in writing"

When you apply for accreditation under section 109, you must do it in writing to the Director-General. You have to use a form provided by the Director-General and follow the manner they approve. You also need to pay the prescribed fee if there is one. You might need to give more information than what is in your application so the Director-General can assess some matters specified in section 109(2). If you do not give the Director-General the extra information they ask for within three months, or a longer time they allow, your application will lapse.
