This means people working at or near the event (like staff, contractors, or volunteers) may need to undergo **background checks** through the AusCheck system to ensure they don't pose security risks.\n\n**Who it affects:**\n- Anyone who needs to work at, supply goods or services to, or access secure areas of the 2024 ASEAN–Australia Summit. This could include event staff, security personnel, caterers, technical crews, and others.\n- The Australian Government agencies coordinating security for the event.\n\n**In short:** This declaration is the legal trigger that allows the government to run security background checks on people involved in running the 2024 ASEAN–Australia Summit, helping keep the event safe from security threats."},"flash_summary":{"complexity_score":2,"scope_assessment":{"changed":false,"description":"This instrument exercises an existing declaratory power under subsection 5A(1) of the AusCheck Act 2007 by naming a specific event as a \"major national event\" and setting a commencement day.

The instrument therefore does not change the statutory scope of the AusCheck Act; it simply applies the Act’s existing declaratory power to a particular event."},"complexity_factors":["Single declaratory action invoking one statutory subsection (subsection 5A(1) of the AusCheck Act 2007).","Instrument is extremely brief and contains no operational or procedural detail.","Commencement rule is simple and explicit (commences on the day after registration).","Legal effects are referenced but located entirely in an external Act (AusCheck Act 2007), requiring cross-reference to determine substantive consequences.","No factual findings, definitions, or conditional clauses within the instrument itself."],"plain_english_summary":"The Minister for Home Affairs has formally declared the 2024 ASEAN–Australia Special Commemorative Summit a “major national event,” with the declaration taking effect the day after registration.
