Plain English Summary

1/10 complexity

This document is a commencement proclamation — a formal order by the Governor-General that sets 1 December 2009 as the date when Schedule 3 of the Therapeutic Goods Amendment (Medical Devices and Other Measures) Act 2009 starts operating.

Why this matters: In Australia, new laws (or parts of laws) don't automatically start on the day Parliament passes them. The Governor-General must issue a proclamation to fix the exact start date. This document performs that role for Schedule 3, which contains the actual amendments updating how medical devices are regulated.

Key details:

What it does: Announces that Schedule 3 takes effect on 1 December 2009
Legal basis: Made under subsection 2(1) of the 2009 Act
Signed: 29 October 2009 by Governor-General Quentin Bryce
