Governance Review Implementation (Science Research Agencies) Act 2007 - Proclamation

This is a formal commencement proclamation — a legal notice by the Governor‑General that activates specific parts of an Act.

What it does: It sets 10 September 2007 as the date when Schedules 1, 2 and 3 of the Governance Review Implementation (Science Research Agencies) Act 2007 come into force (become legally active).

Who it affects: This procedural step allows the governance changes outlined in those three schedules to take legal effect, impacting the science research agencies covered by the parent Act (such as CSIRO and the Australian Nuclear Science and Technology Organisation).

Why it matters: Without this proclamation, the reforms in those schedules would remain dormant "on the statute books" but not legally operational. This document flips the switch.
