Plain English Summary

1/10 complexity

What this does: These regulations scrap the old 1995 rules that established the Private Health Insurance Complaints Levy—a fee that private health insurers had to pay to fund the body handling complaints about them.

Who it affects:

Private health insurers: They stop being charged this specific levy.
Consumers: They indirectly benefited as this cost was previously built into insurance premiums.

Why it matters: This is administrative housekeeping that formally shuts down the levy system. It works alongside the Private Health Insurance Complaints Levy Amendment Act 2007 (which removed the legal power to charge the fee) by deleting the old regulations that set the levy rates and collection rules. It takes effect either when that Amendment Act starts, or the day after registration—whichever happens second.
