New South Wales regulation
This regulation replaces the 2018 Commonwealth‑powers regulation for the National Redress Scheme, takes effect on publication, and formally lists which NSW laws continue to limit sharing information under section 10 of the National Redress Scheme Act. It preserves the legal effects of the repealed 2018 regulation. It affects NSW agencies, institutions and anyone covered by the Redress Act because those named laws keep existing secrecy or confidentiality constraints in place.
