The details of amendments made up to, but not commenced at, the compilation date are underlined in the endnotes. Any uncommenced amendments affecting the law are accessible on the Register (www.legislation.gov.au).\n\nApplication, saving and transitional provisions\n\nIf the operation of a provision or amendment of the compiled law is affected by an application, saving or transitional provision that is not included in this compilation, details are included in the endnotes.\n\nEditorial changes\n\nFor more information about any editorial changes made in this compilation, see the endnotes.\n\nPresentational changes\n\nThe Legislation Act 2003 provides for First Parliamentary Counsel to make presentational changes to a compilation. Presentational changes are applied to give a more consistent look and feel to legislation published on the Register, and enable the user to more easily navigate those documents.\n\nModifications\n\nIf the compiled law is modified by another law, the compiled law operates as modified but the modification does not amend the text of the law. Accordingly, this compilation does not show the text of the compiled law as modified. Any modifications affecting the law are accessible on the Register.\n\nSelf‑repealing provisions\n\nIf a provision of the compiled law has been repealed in accordance with a provision of the law, details are included in the endnotes.\n\nI, the Hon Mark Dreyfus KC MP, Attorney‑General, under subsection 6(2D) of the Telecommunications (Interception and Access) Act 1979, (the Act):\n\n(b) specify in Schedule 1 the name of the force or service operating the premises that have been declared to be an emergency services facility and the geographical region in which those premises are located.\n\nSchedule 1 Emergency service facilities\n\n1 Force or service operating the premises and geographical region\n\nFor subsection 6(2D) of the Act, each force or service operating the premises that have been declared to be an emergency service facility and the geographical region in which those premises are located is specified in the following table:\n\n| Item | Name of force or service operating premises                      | Geographical region |\n| ---- | ---------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------- |\n| 1    | Tasmania Police                                                  | Hobart              |\n| 1A   | Tasmania Police                                                  | Glenorchy           |\n| 2    | Tasmania Fire Service                                            | Hobart              |\n| 3    | Ambulance Tasmania                                               | Hobart              |\n| 4    | Airservices Australia – Aviation Rescue and Firefighting Service | Hobart              |\n| 5    | Airservices Australia – Aviation Rescue and Firefighting Service | Launceston          |\n\n> Note: Endnotes\n\n> Note: Endnote 1—About the endnotes\n\nThe endnotes provide information about this compilation and the compiled law.\n\nThe following endnotes are included in every compilation:\n\nEndnote 1—About the endnotes\n\nEndnote 2—Abbreviation key\n\nEndnote 3—Legislation history\n\nEndnote 4—Amendment history\n\nAbbreviation key—Endnote 2\n\nThe abbreviation key sets out abbreviations that may be used in the endnotes.\n\nLegislation history and amendment history—Endnotes 3 and 4\n\nAmending laws are annotated in the legislation history and amendment history.\n\nThe legislation history in endnote 3 provides information about each law that has amended (or will amend) the compiled law.

It also includes information about any provision of the compiled law that has been repealed in accordance with a provision of the law.\n\nEditorial changes\n\nThe Legislation Act 2003 authorises First Parliamentary Counsel to make editorial and presentational changes to a compiled law in preparing a compilation of the law for registration. The changes must not change the effect of the law. Editorial changes take effect from the compilation registration date.\n\nIf the compilation includes editorial changes, the endnotes include a brief outline of the changes in general terms. Full details of any changes can be obtained from the Office of Parliamentary Counsel.\n\nMisdescribed amendments\n\nA misdescribed amendment is an amendment that does not accurately describe how an amendment is to be made. If, despite the misdescription, the amendment can be given effect as intended, then the misdescribed amendment can be incorporated through an editorial change made under section 15V of the Legislation Act 2003.\n\nIf a misdescribed amendment cannot be given effect as intended, the amendment is not incorporated and “(md not incorp)” is added to the amendment history.\n\n> Note: Endnote 2—Abbreviation key\n\n| ad = added or inserted                         | orig = original                          |\n| ---------------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------- |\n| am = amended                                   | p = page(s)                              |\n| amdt = amendment                               | para = paragraph(s)/subparagraph(s)      |\n| C[x] = Compilation No. x                       | /sub‑subparagraph(s)                     |\n| ch = Chapter(s)                                | pres = present                           |\n| cl = clause(s)                                 | prev = previous                          |\n| cont. = continued                              | (prev…) = previously                     |\n| def = definition(s)                            | pt = Part(s)                             |\n| Dict = Dictionary                              | r = regulation(s)/Court rule(s)          |\n| disallowed = disallowed by Parliament          | reloc = relocated                        |\n| div = Division(s)                              | renum = renumbered                       |\n| ed = editorial change                          | rep = repealed                           |\n| exp = expires/expired or ceases/ceased to have | rs = repealed and substituted            |\n| effect                                         | s = section(s)/subsection(s)             |\n| gaz = gazette                                  | /rule(s)/subrule(s)/order(s)/suborder(s) |\n| LA = Legislation Act 2003                      | sch = Schedule(s)                        |\n| LIA = Legislative Instruments Act 2003         | SLI = Select Legislative Instrument      |\n| (md) = misdescribed amendment can be given     | SR = Statutory Rules                     |\n| effect                                         | sub ch = Sub‑Chapter(s)                  |\n| (md not incorp) = misdescribed amendment       | sub div = Subdivision(s)                 |\n| cannot be given effect                         | sub pt = Subpart(s)                      |\n| mod = modified/modification                    | underlining = whole or part not          |\n| No. = Number(s)                                | commenced or to be commenced             |\n| Ord = Ordinance                                |                                          |\n\n> Note: Endnote 3—Legislation history\n\n| Name                                                                                                                      | Registration               | Commencement                        | Application, saving and transitional provisions |\n| ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | -------------------------- | ----------------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------- |\n| Telecommunications (Interception and Access) (Emergency Service Facilities — Tasmania) Instrument 2022                    | 30 Sept 2022 (F2022L01288) | 1 Oct 2022                          |                                                 |\n| Telecommunications (Interception and Access) Legislation Amendment (Emergency Service Facilities) Instrument (No. 2) 2025 | 19 Aug 2025 (F2025L00927)  | Sch 4: 10 July 2025 (s 2(1) item 1) | —                                               |\n\n> Note: Endnote 4—Amendment history\n\n| Provision affected         | How affected   |\n| -------------------------- | -------------- |\n| para (a).................. | rep LA s 48C   |\n| commencement para......... | rep LA s 48D   |\n| Schedule 1                 |                |\n| cl 1.....................  | am F2025L00927 |","sortOrder":0}],"analysis":{"flash_summary_failed":{"failed":true,"reason":"A positive credit balance is required for all requests, including BYOK, so fallback providers remain available.
