Plain English Summary

1/10 complexity

This is a formal proclamation (an official announcement) by the Governor-General that switches on most of the Australian National Preventive Health Agency Act 2010.

What it does:

Fixes 1 January 2011 as the date when sections 3 to 56 of the Act commence (become law)
This creates the Australian National Preventive Health Agency, a body established to lead national efforts in preventing chronic diseases (such as those caused by smoking, obesity, and alcohol)

Why this matters: Many laws don't start automatically when Parliament passes them. They need a specific start date announced via proclamation. This document is the legal "switch" that activates those sections of the Act, allowing the Agency to begin operations.
