Plain English Summary

1/10 complexity

This document is a commencement proclamation—a formal order that activates parts of a law that have already been passed by Parliament.

What it does:

Sets 5 August 2011 as the date when Schedules 1 and 2 of the Remuneration and Other Legislation Amendment Act 2011 come into force (become legally effective).
Made under the commencement provisions (items 2 and 3 of the table in subsection 2(1)) of that same Act.

Why this matters: Laws often pass Parliament but don't start immediately. This proclamation is the "on switch" that makes the pay and remuneration changes in Schedules 1 and 2 legally binding from that date.

Who is affected: While this document itself is purely procedural, the Schedules it activates affect public office holders and employees covered by Commonwealth remuneration laws.
