Plain English Summary

1/10 complexity

What it does: This document officially names a specific officer at the Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA) as an "approving body" under the Telecommunications Act 1997. Specifically, it gives the Executive Manager of the Regulation and Compliance Branch the legal power to make certain approvals required by that Act.

Who it affects:

The Executive Manager, Regulation and Compliance Branch at ACMA — this person (whoever holds the job at the time) becomes the authorised decision-maker.
Telecommunications companies and individuals who need formal approvals under the Act that must come from an "approving body".

Why it matters: Some decisions under telecommunications law can't be made by just anyone — they must be made by a specifically appointed "approving body." This document designates who that is, replacing an earlier 1997 appointment to reflect current ACMA organisational structure.
