Plain English Summary

1/10 complexity

This is a formal commencement proclamation — a legal instrument that "switches on" parts of a law that Parliament has already passed but hasn't activated yet.

What it does:

Sets 31 May 2006 as the date when Schedules 1 to 7 of the Aged Care Amendment (2005 Measures No. 1) Act 2006 take effect and become enforceable law.

Who made it:

Professor Marie Bashir (Administrator of the Commonwealth, acting with the authority of the Governor-General) signed the proclamation on 26 April 2006.
Santo Santoro (Minister for Ageing) authorized it on behalf of the Federal Executive Council.

Why it matters: Governments often delay the start date of new laws until systems are ready (funding, staff, IT, etc.). This document formally triggers the first seven schedules of the aged care amendments, meaning those specific changes to aged care rules, funding, or administration became legally active on 31 May 2006.
