What this document does

This is a formal legal notice (called a proclamation) made by the Governor-General that switches on parts of a larger health law.

Specifically, it declares that Parts 1 and 2 of Schedule 1 of the National Health Amendment (Immunisation Program) Act 2005 will start operating on 1 January 2006.

Why this matters

The main Act made changes to the National Health Act 1953 regarding immunisation programs, but it didn't specify exactly when those changes would begin.
This proclamation fixes the start date, allowing the new immunisation program rules to take effect from New Year's Day 2006.
Without this document, those parts of the law would remain inactive.
