Withdrawal of Applications

Withdrawal of an application can occur in one of two ways:

1.        an applicant can withdraw their application at any time after FSANZ has accepted the application, but before the approval of a food regulatory measure or notification that FSANZ has rejected an application.   The notice to FSANZ of withdrawal must be in writing (to the Standards Management Officer); or

2.        an application can be taken to have been withdrawn by FSANZ if an applicant fails or refuses to comply with FSANZ’s request for further information under s.108 of the FSANZ Act without reasonable excuse.

If the application is a paid application, fees will be partially refundable, in accordance with the FSANZ Regulations.
