Draft exemption orders and target reduction orders for consultation

TV broadcasters can apply for exemptions and reductions relating to their captioning targets. Prior to making exemption orders and target reduction orders, we invite submissions about draft orders.

Before making an exemption order or a target reduction order, we publish a notice setting out the draft order within 50 days of receiving an application. 

Submissions about the draft order may be made within 30 days after the notice is published.

If the submission due date falls on a Saturday, Sunday or public holiday, submissions may be received up until to 5pm on the following business day.

You can make a submission by one of the following ways:
