The following is a simplified outline of this Part.
• A body or association that represents internet service providers may develop an industry code that deals with the
designated internet gambling matters (see section 35).• An industry code may be registered by the ACMA.
• Compliance with an industry code is voluntary unless the ACMA directs a particular internet service provider to comply with the code.
• The ACMA has a reserve power to make an industry standard if there is no industry code or if an industry code is deficient.
• Compliance with an industry standard is mandatory.
For the purposes of this Act, an
industry code is a code developed under this Part (whether or not in response to a request under this Part).
For the purposes of this Act, an
industry standard is a standard determined under this Part.
For the purposes of this Act, the following matters are
designated internet gambling matters :
(a) the formulation of a designated notification scheme;
(b) procedures to be followed by internet service providers in dealing with internet content notified under paragraph 24(1)(b) or section 26 (for example, procedures relating to the provision of regularly updated internet content filtering software to subscribers).

industry code ) that:
(a) is to apply to internet service providers; and
(b) deals exclusively with the designated internet gambling matters.
(2) The Parliament intends that an industry code developed, or industry standard determined, under this Part is to be in addition to any codes developed, or standards determined, under Division 7 of Part 9 of the
Online Safety Act 2021 .(3) The Parliament intends that this Part does not, by implication, limit the matters that may be dealt with by any codes developed, or standards determined, under Division 7 of Part 9 of the
Online Safety Act 2021 .(4) The Parliament intends that the ACMA should make reasonable efforts to ensure that either:
(a) an industry code is registered under this Part before Part 3 commences; or
(b) an industry standard is registered under this Part before Part 3 commences.

(a) an industry code or an industry standard that deals with; or
(b) an industry code and an industry standard that together deal with;
the designated internet gambling matters.
Designated alternative access‑prevention arrangements
(3) An industry code or an industry standard may provide that an internet service provider is not required to deal with internet content notified under paragraph 24(1)(b) or section 26 by taking steps to prevent particular end‑users from accessing the content if access by the end‑users is subject to an arrangement that is declared by the code or standard to be a designated alternative access‑prevention arrangement for the purposes of the application of this section to those end‑users.
(4) An industry code developed by a body or association must not declare that a specified arrangement is a designated alternative access‑prevention arrangement for the purposes of the application of this section to one or more specified end‑users unless the body or association is satisfied that the arrangement is likely to provide a reasonably effective means of preventing access by those end‑users to prohibited internet gambling content.
Note: For specification by class, see subsection 33(3AB) of the
Acts Interpretation Act 1901 .(5) An industry standard determined by the ACMA must not declare that a specified arrangement is a designated alternative access‑prevention arrangement for the purposes of the application of this section to one or more specified end‑users unless the ACMA is satisfied that the arrangement is likely to provide a reasonably effective means of preventing access by those end‑users to prohibited internet gambling content.

Legislation Act 2003 .(6) The following are examples of arrangements that could be declared to be designated alternative access‑prevention arrangements:

(2) If a contravention of subsection 55(2) or 56(5) is a continuing contravention, the maximum civil penalty for each day that the contravention continues is 10% of the maximum civil penalty that could be imposed in respect of the principal contravention.
The ACMA may issue a formal warning if a person contravenes an online provider rule.
(1) If the ACMA is satisfied that a person who is an internet service provider is supplying an internet carriage service otherwise than in accordance with an online provider rule, the ACMA may apply to the Federal Court for an order that the person cease supplying that internet carriage service.
(2) If the Federal Court is satisfied, on such an application, that the person is supplying an internet carriage service otherwise than in accordance with the online provider rule, the Federal Court may order the person to cease supplying that internet carriage service.
