An endorsement is made by a jurisdiction publishing a notice, endorsing the terms of the regulation, in its official gazette. Currently, the participating jurisdictions to the arrangement are the Commonwealth, New Zealand, New South Wales, Victoria, Queensland, Tasmania, the Northern Territory and the ACT.
