Sex and Age Discrimination Legislation Amendment Act 2011 - Proclamation

This document is a formal commencement proclamation made by the Governor-General. It activates (brings into force) Schedule 2 of the Sex and Age Discrimination Legislation Amendment Act 2011 on 29 July 2011.

Why this matters: Many laws don't start automatically when Parliament passes them. This proclamation was the legal switch that turned on the amendments contained in Schedule 2 on the specified date. Without this document, those changes to discrimination law would not have taken effect on that day.

Who it affects: This procedural step impacts anyone covered by the amendments in Schedule 2 (which typically include changes to anti-discrimination laws), but the proclamation itself simply sets the legal timeline rather than creating new rights or rules.
