#### 17G Drug testing orders
(1) A drug testing scheme may empower the Agency to make orders, to be known as drug testing orders for the scheme, with respect to any matter for or in relation to which provision may be made, or is required to be made, by the scheme.
(2) The following are examples of matters for which provision may be made by drug testing orders for a particular drug testing scheme:
(a) the schedule of drugs and doping methods for the scheme;
(b) procedures for dealing with a sample.
(3) An order referred to in subsection (1) is a disallowable instrument for the purposes of section 46A of the Acts Interpretation Act 1901.
(4) An order referred to in subsection (1) may make provision for or in relation to a matter by applying, adopting or incorporating, with or without modification, any of the provisions of any other order referred to in that subsection:
(a) as in force at a particular time; or
(b) as in force from time to time.
(5) Section 49A of the Acts Interpretation Act 1901 applies in relation to regulations as if the reference in paragraph (1)(a) of that section to regulations included a reference to an order referred to in subsection (1) of this section.
(6) An order referred to in subsection (1) is taken to be an enactment for the purposes of the Administrative Appeals Tribunal Act 1975.
(7) The provisions of this Act (other than this section) apply to an order referred to in subsection (1) in a corresponding way to the way in which they apply to a drug testing scheme. In particular, this Act (other than this section) has effect as if anything set out in drug testing orders for a drug testing scheme were set out in the drug testing scheme.
(8) To avoid doubt, subsection (4) does not limit the application of subsection 11(5) to drug testing orders.
