Linked here is the text of the Minister's exemption from the ban for "All persons licensed as commercial operators under section 22 of the Agricultural and Veterinary Chemicals (Control of Use) Act 1995." Such commercial operators' use of glueboards for rodent control must be in accordance with the Australian Environmental Pest Managers' Association's Guidelines for the Use of Rodent Glueboards in Australia by the Pest Management Industry.
