Plain English Summary

1/10 complexity

What this does: This is a formal proclamation that switches on specific parts of the National Health Security Amendment Act 2012.

Key detail: It sets 31 March 2013 as the date when Schedules 1 and 2 of that Amendment Act come into force (become legally active).

Who it affects: This activates amendments to the National Health Security Act 2007 (Australia’s main law for managing serious disease outbreaks and health emergencies). From 31 March 2013, the changes in those schedules became operational law.

Why it matters: Parliament passed the amendments in 2012, but they needed this additional step to actually take effect. This document is the “on switch” that made those health security amendments legally enforceable.
