186 Giving agreement
A reference in this Act to the Commonwealth, a participating Territory, an institution or a person agreeing to a matter is a reference to the body or person giving agreement in the way (if any) prescribed by the rules.
Note: For example, paragraph 115(3)(c) provides that the Minister must not make a declaration that a non‑government institution is a participating institution unless the institution has agreed to participate in the scheme. Under this section, the way the institution gives its agreement must be the way prescribed by the rules (if the rules prescribe a way).
