12 Application of Commonwealth administrative laws to applied provisions
(1) The Commonwealth administrative laws apply as laws of Victoria to any matter arising in relation to the applied provisions as if those provisions were a law of the Commonwealth and not a law of Victoria.
(2) For the purposes of a law of Victoria, a matter arising in relation to the applied provisions—
(a) is taken to be a matter arising in relation to laws of the Commonwealth in the same way as if those provisions were a law of the Commonwealth; and
(b) is taken not to be a matter arising in relation to laws of Victoria.
(3) Subsection (2) has effect for the purposes of a law of Victoria except as provided by Part 7 and the regulations made under this Act.
(4) Any provision of a Commonwealth administrative law applying because of this section that purports to confer jurisdiction on a federal court is taken not to have that effect.
S. 12(5) amended by No. 41/2025 s. 3(Sch. 1 item 22.2).
(5) For the purposes of this section, a reference in a provision of the Administrative Review Tribunal Act 2024 of the Commonwealth (as that provision applies as a law of this jurisdiction) to the whole or any part of Part 7 of that Act is taken to be a reference to the whole or any part of that Part as it has effect as a law of the Commonwealth.
