Plain English Summary

What this does:

These regulations set the fees for medical examinations of seamen and maritime apprentices under Australia’s navigation laws.

Who it affects:

Seamen and apprentices requiring medical clearance
Applicants (likely shipowners or masters) paying for these examinations

How the fees work:

Standard fee: Five shillings per person if the examination takes place within 2 miles of the General Post Office at the port
Travel surcharge: If the exam is further than 2 miles from the GPO, the applicant pays an extra two shillings for every additional mile (or part of a mile)

Why it matters: This ensures consistent pricing for maritime health checks, with higher fees reflecting travel costs for examinations conducted away from port centers.
