As a result, women are no longer governed by separate service rules and are incorporated into the regular Air Force structure under the Air Force Act and Regulations. The change formalises the ADF’s shift toward fully integrating women into mainstream service."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/air-force-women-s-services-regulations-repeal","history":"/api/acts/air-force-women-s-services-regulations-repeal/history","analysis":"/api/acts/air-force-women-s-services-regulations-repeal/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/air-force-women-s-services-regulations-repeal/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/air-force-women-s-services-regulations-repeal/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/air-force-women-s-services-regulations-repeal/documents"}}
