Plain English Summary

1/10 complexity

This is a formal government notice (a Proclamation) that switches on specific parts of the Health Insurance Amendment Act on 1 July 2003.

What it does:

Sets the commencement date for certain provisions relating to diagnostic imaging (such as X-rays and CT scans) and radiation oncology (cancer treatment using radiation)
Specifically activates items 12 and 13 from Schedules 1 and 2 of the parent Act

Why this matters: Without this proclamation, those sections of the law would remain inactive. This document officially brings them into force, allowing changes to Medicare billing arrangements and professional standards for these medical services to take effect on 1 July 2003.
