The Governor-General issues proclamations to fix specific commencement dates. This one was signed on 12 August 2009, giving about a month's notice before the privacy protections in Schedule 1 took effect.\n\n**Important note:** This document does **not** contain the actual rules about protecting identifying information (such as privacy safeguards or disclosure restrictions). It only sets the calendar date when those substantive rules (located in Schedule 1 of the Amendment Act) came into force."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/migration-amendment-protection-of-identifying-information-act-2009-proclamation","history":"/api/acts/migration-amendment-protection-of-identifying-information-act-2009-proclamation/history","analysis":"/api/acts/migration-amendment-protection-of-identifying-information-act-2009-proclamation/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/migration-amendment-protection-of-identifying-information-act-2009-proclamation/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/migration-amendment-protection-of-identifying-information-act-2009-proclamation/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/migration-amendment-protection-of-identifying-information-act-2009-proclamation/documents"}}
