The Governor-General must issue a proclamation to fix the exact start date. This document performs that role for Schedule 3, which contains the actual amendments updating how medical devices are regulated.\n\n**Key details:**\n*   **What it does:** Announces that Schedule 3 takes effect on 1 December 2009\n*   **Legal basis:** Made under subsection 2(1) of the 2009 Act\n*   **Signed:** 29 October 2009 by Governor-General Quentin Bryce"}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/therapeutic-goods-amendment-medical-devices-and-other-measures-act-2009-proclamation","history":"/api/acts/therapeutic-goods-amendment-medical-devices-and-other-measures-act-2009-proclamation/history","analysis":"/api/acts/therapeutic-goods-amendment-medical-devices-and-other-measures-act-2009-proclamation/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/therapeutic-goods-amendment-medical-devices-and-other-measures-act-2009-proclamation/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/therapeutic-goods-amendment-medical-devices-and-other-measures-act-2009-proclamation/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/therapeutic-goods-amendment-medical-devices-and-other-measures-act-2009-proclamation/documents"}}
