This means qualified workers licensed in other Australian states or territories can more easily work in Tasmania without needing to apply for a separate Tasmanian licence first.\n- The delayed commencement of Parts 2, 3 and 7 suggests those sections deal with different aspects of the scheme that need more preparation time."},"summary":{"complexity_score":2,"scope_assessment":{"changed":false,"description":"This proclamation does not alter the scope of the Act it commences.
