It designates the **2020 ICC T20 Cricket World Cup** as a 'major national event' under the **AusCheck Act 2007**.\n\n**What this means:**\n- The **AusCheck Act** allows for background checks on people who need access to secure areas or sensitive information during major events.\n- By declaring the cricket tournament a 'major national event', the government can require **background screening** (police checks and security assessments) for:\n  - Staff and volunteers working at the venues\n  - Contractors and service providers\n  - Anyone needing access to restricted zones during the matches\n\n**Why it matters:**\n- This helps protect large sporting events from security threats by ensuring people with access to secure areas are properly vetted.\n- It puts the cricket tournament on the same footing as other high-profile events (like the Olympics or Commonwealth Games) where extra security screening is justified due to the large crowds and international attention.\n\n**Note:** The 2020 T20 World Cup was originally scheduled for Australia in October-November 2020 but was postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic and eventually held in 2022."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/auscheck-major-national-event-international-cricket-council-t20-world-cup-australia-2020-declaration","history":"/api/acts/auscheck-major-national-event-international-cricket-council-t20-world-cup-australia-2020-declaration/history","analysis":"/api/acts/auscheck-major-national-event-international-cricket-council-t20-world-cup-australia-2020-declaration/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/auscheck-major-national-event-international-cricket-council-t20-world-cup-australia-2020-declaration/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/auscheck-major-national-event-international-cricket-council-t20-world-cup-australia-2020-declaration/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/auscheck-major-national-event-international-cricket-council-t20-world-cup-australia-2020-declaration/documents"}}
