Commonwealth legislation
This instrument specifies that the Family Responsibilities Commission (established under section 9 of the Family Responsibilities Commission Act 2008 (Qld)) is to be treated as the “Queensland Commission” for the Social Security (Administration) Act 1999 (section 6). It commences the day after registration (section 2) and repeals the 2015 specification instrument (Schedule 1).
The instrument does not itself create payments or charges; it changes which body is identified in the Act as the Queensland Commission, thereby altering which organisation is treated as the decision‑maker or recipient of references to “Queensland Commission” under the Act.
