156H: Effect of appeal

You could also call this:

"What happens when you appeal a compliance notice about animal welfare"

If you appeal a compliance notice under section 156F or section 156G, it affects what happens next. The person in charge, called the Director-General, cannot cancel the notice while you are appealing or while you still have time to appeal. You must still follow the notice if that is what you need to do after appealing.
