How to use TAPS
-
Registration is free and ensures we have the necessary billing details.
You can register here →
-
Once registered, you’ll receive confirmation and contact details for the TAPS Adjudicators. Submit your material in one of the following formats:
Finished commercials: MPEG or hyperlink with script
Scripts and concepts: Scripts, layouts or storyboards
Print and outdoor: Artwork or proofs
POS: Final artwork
Websites: Hyperlink
-
For TV, radio and cinema campaigns, an initial review at concept, storyboard and / or script stage is strongly recommended to avoid costly rework.
-
Standard turnaround is 3 working days. More complex jobs may require extra time. Urgent approvals can be arranged with at least 24 hours’ notice.
-
Once approved, your ad will be assigned a unique TAPS number. This number should be included in the final material submitted for media.
Notes:
Registration does not equal approval. Material must be reviewed and approved separately.
Initial registration is valid for 6 months. If unused, re-registration is required and carries a $150 + GST fee.
TAPS registration does not confer ANZA membership.
Disclaimer:
ANZA and the TAPS Adjudicators do not accept liability for any loss arising from or related to the pre-vetting of any advertisement under the TAPS system.
