1/10 complexity

This is a formal commencement proclamation for the Australian Research Council Act 2001. It simply sets 1 July 2001 as the date the Act comes into force (starts operating).

What this means:

Before this date, the Act was passed by Parliament but not yet 'live'
This proclamation, signed by the Governor-General, flips the switch to make the law active
From 1 July 2001, the Australian Research Council operates as an independent statutory body with legal authority to administer research grants

Key detail: This document does not change the content of the Act; it only decides when the rules begin to apply.
