Plain English Summary

1/10 complexity

What this does These regulations set a financial threshold for contracts entered into by the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare (AIHW), Australia's national health and welfare statistics agency.

The $1.5 million rule The sole substantive provision prescribes $1.5 million as the contract value limit. Under the parent Act, this threshold determines which contracts the AIHW can sign independently and which require ministerial approval or other oversight.

Why it matters This is "machinery" legislation that ensures proper financial governance. It allows the Institute to operate efficiently for routine procurement while ensuring major contracts (worth $1.5 million or more) receive appropriate scrutiny.

Updating old rules The regulations repeal and replace the previous 1998 regulations of the same name, modernising the legislative framework without changing the underlying purpose.
