INTERPRETATION OF LEGISLATION ACT 1984 (ILA) Style changes Section 54A of the ILA authorises the making of the style changes set out in Schedule 1 to that Act. References to ILA s. 39B Sidenotes which cite ILA s. 39B refer to section 39B of the ILA which provides that where an undivided section or clause of a Schedule is amended by the insertion of one or more subsections or subclauses, the original section or clause becomes subsection or subclause (1) and is amended by the insertion of the expression "(1)" at the beginning of the original section or clause. Interpretation As from 1 January 2001, amendments to section 36 of the ILA have the following effects: • Headings All headings included in an Act which is passed on or after 1 January 2001 form part of that Act. Any heading inserted in an Act which was passed before 1 January 2001, by an Act passed on or after 1 January 2001, forms part of that Act. This includes headings to Parts, Divisions or Subdivisions in a Schedule; sections; clauses; items; tables; columns; examples; diagrams; notes or forms. See section 36(1A)(2A). • Examples, diagrams or notes All examples, diagrams or notes included in an Act which is passed on or after 1 January 2001 form part of that Act. Any examples, diagrams or notes inserted in an Act which was passed before 1 January 2001, by an Act passed on or after 1 January 2001, form part of that Act. See section 36(3A). • Punctuation All punctuation included in an Act which is passed on or after 1 January 2001 forms part of that Act. Any punctuation inserted in an Act which was passed before 1 January 2001, by an Act passed on or after 1 January 2001, forms part of that Act. See section 36(3B). • Provision numbers All provision numbers included in an Act form part of that Act, whether inserted in the Act before, on or after 1 January 2001. Provision numbers include section numbers, subsection numbers, paragraphs and subparagraphs. See section 36(3C). • Location of "legislative items" A "legislative item" is a penalty, an example or a note. As from 13 October 2004, a legislative item relating to a provision of an Act is taken to be at the foot of that provision even if it is preceded or followed by another legislative item that relates to that provision. For example, if a penalty at the foot of a provision is followed by a note, both of these legislative items will be regarded as being at the foot of that provision. See section 36B. • Other material Any explanatory memorandum, table of provisions, endnotes, index and other material printed after the Endnotes does not form part of an Act. See section 36(3)(3D)(3E). 2 Table of Amendments This publication incorporates amendments made to the **Conveyancers Act 2006** by Acts and subordinate instruments. ––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– **Legal Profession Amendment Act 2007, No. 12/2007** | Assent Date: | 8.5.07 | | Commencement Date: | S. 80 on 9.5.07: s. 2(1) | **Fair Trading and Consumer Acts Amendment Act 2007, No. 17/2007** | Assent Date: | 29.5.07 | | Commencement Date: | Ss 14–33 on 1.7.08: s. 2(3) | **Relationships Act 2008, No. 12/2008** | Assent Date: | 15.4.08 | | Commencement Date: | S. 73(1)(Sch. 1 item 9) on 1.12.08: s. 2(2) | **Fundraising Appeals and Consumer Acts Amendment Act 2009, No. 2/2009** | Assent Date: | 10.2.09 | | Commencement Date: | S. 25 on 11.2.09: s. 2(1) | **Criminal Procedure Amendment (Consequential and Transitional Provisions) Act 2009, No. 68/2009** | Assent Date: | 24.11.09 | | Commencement Date: | S. 97(Sch. item 28) on 1.1.10: Government Gazette 10.12.09 p. 3215 | **Consumer Affairs Legislation Amendment Act 2010, No. 1/2010** | Assent Date: | 9.2.10 | | Commencement Date: | Ss 3, 88 on 1.8.10: Government Gazette 22.7.10 p. 1628 | **Consumer Affairs Legislation Amendment (Reform) Act 2010, No. 63/2010** | Assent Date: | 28.9.10 | | Commencement Date: | Ss 51–54, 56 on 1.11.10: Government Gazette 14.10.10 p. 2404; s. 55 on 1.4.11: Special Gazette (No. 63) 1.3.11 p. 1 | **Fair Trading Amendment (Australian Consumer Law) Act 2010, No. 72/2010** | Assent Date: | 19.10.10 | | Commencement Date: | S. 48(Sch. item 6) on 1.1.11: Special Gazette (No. 502) 20.12.10 p. 1 | **Consumer Acts Amendment Act 2011, No. 36/2011** | Assent Date: | 23.8.11 | | Commencement Date: | Ss 20, 21 on 24.8.11: s. 2(1); s. 19 on 1.7.12: s. 2(2) | **Australian Consumer Law and Fair Trading Act 2012, No. 21/2012** | Assent Date: | 8.5.12 | | Commencement Date: | S. 239(Sch. 6 item 10) on 1.7.12: Special Gazette (No. 214) 28.6.12 p. 1 | **Legal Profession Uniform Law Application Act 2014, No. 17/2014** | *Assent Date:* | 25.3.14 | | *Commencement Date:* | S. 160(Sch. 2 item 18) on 1.7.15: Special Gazette (No. 15) 16.6.15 p. 1 | **Victoria Police Amendment (Consequential and Other Matters) Act 2014, No. 37/2014** | *Assent Date:* | 3.6.14 | | *Commencement Date:* | S. 10(Sch. item 29) on 1.7.14: Special Gazette (No. 200) 24.6.14 p. 2 | **Veterans and Other Acts Amendment Act 2015, No. 12/2015** | *Assent Date:* | 21.4.15 | | *Commencement Date:* | S. 21(Sch. 1 item 2) on 22.4.15: s. 2(1) | **Consumer Acts Amendment Act 2017, No. 13/2017** | Assent Date: | 10.5.17 | | Commencement Date: | Ss 16, 17 on 11.5.17: s. 2(1) | **Oaths and Affirmations Act 2018, No. 6/2018** | Assent Date: | 27.2.18 | | Commencement Date: | S. 68(Sch. 2 item 28) on 1.3.19: s. 2(2) | **Guardianship and Administration Act 2019, No. 13/2019** | Assent Date: | 4.6.19 | | Commencement Date: | S. 221(Sch. 1 item 8) on 1.3.20: s. 2(2) | **Consumer and Other Acts Miscellaneous Amendments Act 2021, No. 1/2021** | Assent Date: | 9.2.21 | | Commencement Date: | Ss 134–136 on 10.3.21: Special Gazette (No. 110) 10.3.21 p. 1 | **Consumer and Planning Legislation Amendment (Housing Statement Reform) Act 2025, No. 6/2025** | Assent Date: | 18.3.25 | | Commencement Date: | Ss 115, 116 on 25.11.25: s. 2(2) | **Consumer Legislation Amendment Act 2025, No. 46/2025** | Assent Date: | 25.11.25 | | Commencement Date: | Ss 32–34 on 26.11.25: s. 2(1) | ––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– 3 Explanatory details No entries at date of publication.
