1‑10 Identifying defined terms (1) Many of the terms in this Act are defined in the Dictionary in Schedule 1. (2) Most of the terms that are defined in the Dictionary are identified by an asterisk appearing at the start of the term: as in “*health benefits fund”. The footnote with the asterisk contains a signpost to the Dictionary. (3) An asterisk usually identifies the first occurrence of a term in a section (if not divided into subsections), subsection, definition, table item or diagram. Later occurrences of the term in the same provision are not usually asterisked. (4) Terms are not asterisked in headings, notes, examples or guides. (5) If a term is not identified by an asterisk, disregard that fact in deciding whether or not to apply to that term a definition or other interpretation provision. (6) The following basic terms used throughout the Act are not identified with an asterisk: - Terms that are not identified with an asterisk - Item This term ... is defined in ... - 2 Federal Court the Dictionary in Schedule 1 - 3 insurance section 5‑1 - 4 Chief Executive Medicare the Dictionary in Schedule 1 - 5 Private Health Insurance Ombudsman the Dictionary in Schedule 1 - 6 private health insurer the Dictionary in Schedule 1
