Illustration for Telecommunications (Interception Capability and Security) Act 2013

You can apply to the Minister if your application for an exemption or variation of an exemption is declined or partly declined. You can also apply if your exemption is revoked or is going to be revoked. You must make this application within 20 working days. You need to send your application to the Minister after the designated officer makes a decision on your application or decides to revoke your exemption. The Minister will let you know they got your application as soon as they can. Your new application to the Minister must be similar to your original application. The Minister will look at your application after they get it. You must follow the rules when you apply to the Minister. This means you must apply on time and not change your application too much.
