Plain English Summary

1/10 complexity

This document is a commencement proclamation — a formal government notice that activates part of a law on a specific date.

It sets 1 July 2006 as the start date for Schedule 1, Part 1 of the Jurisdiction of Courts (Family Law) Act 2006.

What this means:

The underlying Act deals with which courts (federal or state) can hear family law cases
This proclamation simply "flips the switch" to make the first part of that law operational on 1 July 2006
Before this date, those specific legal provisions could not be used or enforced
