Plain English Summary

1/10 complexity

This short 1913 regulation closed a technical gap so Northern Territory birth officials could act as “Commonwealth Registrars” for the Maternity Allowance Act 1912. By clarifying who could register births for claims, it ensured NT mothers could receive the £5 maternity payment and not be excluded by administrative uncertainty.
