What this does: This Declaration formally names a list of public bodies as "approved authorities" under the Superannuation Act 1976. It is made under the definition of approved authority in subsection 3(1)(a) of the Act.
Who it affects and why it matters: The listed organisations are placed within the legal category the Act recognises for superannuation purposes, so the Act's provisions that apply to "approved authorities" will apply to them. That changes how the Act operates in relation to those bodies' superannuation arrangements.
