Broadcasting Services Act 1992

A person must notify the ACMA if, at any time in an SVOD reporting year:

the person is a provider of an SVOD service; and

the service has at least 250,000 paying subscribers in Australia; and

the service is not an excluded service for the SVOD reporting year.

A notification under subsection (1):

must be given before the end of 60 days after the first day on which all of paragraphs (1)(a), (b) and (c) apply; and

must be given in the form and manner approved, in writing, by the ACMA; and

must include the name of the service; and

must include:

the name of the person; and

if the person has an ABN—the person’s ABN; and

if the person has a principal office in Australia—the address of that principal office; and

must include any other information required by the form in relation to the service, the providers of the service or other bodies corporate related to the providers of the service.

If the service has more than one provider, the requirement for each provider to give a notification under subsection (1) is satisfied if any of the providers gives an equivalent notification.

A form approved under paragraph (2)(b) for a notification under subsection (1) may provide for verification by statutory declaration of information included in the notification.
