A commencement proclamation is the legal trigger that \"switches on\" particular provisions.\n- This proclamation activates sections dealing with amendments to child protection and family services law in Tasmania — though the exact substance of those amendments isn't detailed here (you'd need to look at the parent Act to see what sections 5, 6, 9, etc. actually change).\n\n**Who it affects:**\n- Government agencies (particularly the Department of Health and Human Services, which administers this law)\n- Children, young people and families who come into contact with Tasmania's child safety and family support systems\n- Legal practitioners and courts dealing with child protection matters\n\n**Key point:** This document doesn't create new rules itself — it's the **mechanism that turns on** rules that were already written in the 2013 Amendment Act."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/tas-sr-2016-045","history":"/api/acts/tas-sr-2016-045/history","analysis":"/api/acts/tas-sr-2016-045/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/tas-sr-2016-045/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/tas-sr-2016-045/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/tas-sr-2016-045/documents"}}
