34K Further rules about public interest exception
This section applies if the APVMA is satisfied under subsection 34J(3) that it is in the public interest to use information.
The APVMA must, as soon as practicable, give written notice of its satisfaction to:
the applicant for the application in connection with which the information was given; and
if the applicant is not the authorising party for the information—the person whom the APVMA believes is the authorising party.
The APVMA must not use the information before the end of 28 days after the day on which the notice is given.
However, subsection (3) does not apply if:
the APVMA believes it is necessary to use the information before the end of 28 days after the notice is given, to prevent imminent risk to persons of death, serious injury or serious illness; and
states that belief in the notice.
