Plain English Summary

1/10 complexity

This document is a formal order (proclamation) by the Governor-General that switches on specific parts of the Health Legislation Amendment (Private Health Insurance Reform) Act 2004.

It sets two different start dates for the law’s provisions:

23 April 2004: Certain technical rules take effect.
1 July 2004: The main private health insurance reforms take effect.

This staged approach allows technical preparations to happen in April, while the significant changes to health insurance take effect on 1 July 2004 (the start of the financial year).
