After this date, they became active law.\n\n**Why this matters**\n\nLaws passed by Parliament often don't start immediately. This document is the legal mechanism that sets the 'go-live' date for Australia's online safety framework for children, allowing the eSafety Commissioner and related powers to begin operating."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/enhancing-online-safety-for-children-commencement-proclamation-2015","history":"/api/acts/enhancing-online-safety-for-children-commencement-proclamation-2015/history","analysis":"/api/acts/enhancing-online-safety-for-children-commencement-proclamation-2015/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/enhancing-online-safety-for-children-commencement-proclamation-2015/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/enhancing-online-safety-for-children-commencement-proclamation-2015/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/enhancing-online-safety-for-children-commencement-proclamation-2015/documents"}}
