(a) if the Commissioner considers the content is of a sufficiently serious nature to warrant referral to a law enforcement agency (whether in or outside Australia)—notify the content to:

(i) a member of an Australian police force; or

(ii) if there is an arrangement between the Commissioner and the chief (however described) of an Australian police force under which the Commissioner is authorised to notify the content to a another person or body (whether in or outside Australia)—that other person or body; and

(b) if a code registered, or standard determined, under Part 5 of this Schedule deals with the matters referred to in subclause 60(2)—notify the content to internet service providers under the designated notification scheme set out in the code or standard, as the case may be; and

(c) if paragraph (b) does not apply—give each internet service provider known to the Commissioner a written notice (a standard access‑prevention notice) directing the provider to take all reasonable steps to prevent end‑users from accessing the content.

(a) an industry code is registered under this Part within 6 months after the commencement of this Schedule; or

(b) an industry standard is registered under this Part within 9 months after the commencement of this Schedule.

81 Matters that must be dealt with by industry codes and industry standards—commercial content providers

(1) The Parliament intends that, for the commercial content service provider section of the content industry, there should be:

(a) an industry code or an industry standard that deals with; or

(b) an industry code and an industry standard that together deal with;

each of the following matters:

(d) ensuring that content (other than live content or content that consists of an eligible electronic publication) that:

(i) has not been classified by the Classification Board; and

(ii) would, if it were classified by the Classification Board, be substantially likely to be classified RC, X 18+, R 18+ or MA 15+ by the Classification Board;

(e) ensuring that live content is not provided by commercial content services (other than news services or current affairs services) unless:

(i) there is no reasonable likelihood that the live content will be of a kind that would, if it were classified by the Classification Board, be substantially likely to be classified RC, X 18+, R 18+ or MA 15+ by the Classification Board; or

(ii) a trained content assessor has given advice to the relevant commercial content service provider about whether the live content is likely to be of a kind that would, if it were classified by the Classification Board, be substantially likely to be classified RC, X 18+, R 18+ or MA 15+ by the Classification Board;
