Plain English Summary

1/10 complexity

This direction is administrative housekeeping. It formally cancels seven older ministerial directions that had previously given the Medicare Australia CEO specific jobs to do.

The repealed directions covered:

Bowel cancer screening programs
Lifetime health cover administration
Teen dental plans
Call centre operations
Commonwealth and enabling services

Why it matters: This ‘clean-up’ instrument removes outdated operational rules from the statute book. This typically happens when government programs end, responsibilities move to different agencies, or when an agency is being wound down. Rather than letting obsolete directions linger, this single document formally scraps them all at once.
