Plain English Summary

1/10 complexity

This document is a formal commencement proclamation (an official order) made by the Governor-General that activates the Australian Sports Anti-Doping Authority Act 2006. It simply fixes 13 March 2006 as the date when sections 3 to 79 of that Act come into force.

What this means:

Before this date, the anti-doping rules existed on paper but were not legally enforceable.
From 13 March 2006 onwards, the Australian Sports Anti-Doping Authority (ASADA) and all its powers became operational.
This proclamation itself does not create any anti-doping rules; it is purely the 'switch' that turns on the laws already passed by Parliament.
