Plain English Summary

1/10 complexity

What this document does: This is a formal "start date" notice (called a proclamation) that switches on specific parts of a law. It officially declares that Schedule 1 and items 1–2 of Schedule 2 of the Human Services Legislation Amendment Act 2005 begin on 1 October 2005.

Why it matters: Laws often need a specific "go live" date so government agencies and citizens know exactly when new rules apply. This document acts as that official switch, signed by the Acting Governor-General (the Administrator) and the Minister for Human Services.

Key detail: It operates under the commencement rules written into the Act itself (section 2(1)), fixing the date for these specific provisions to take legal effect.
