We have prepared guidelines on the authorisation process for non-merger conduct to help businesses and their advisers lodge applications for authorisation, and interested parties to provide submissions in response to applications.
Changes to the Act from 6 November 2017 mean that it is now possible to obtain protection from legal action for Resale Price Maintenance (RPM) conduct by lodging a notification. Prior to this date, ACCC authorisation was the only way to obtain legal protection for RPM conduct.

This Guide provides information about RPM notifications.
