Plain English Summary

1/10 complexity

This document is a formal proclamation by the Governor‑General that activates (commences) Schedule 1 of the Therapeutic Goods Legislation Amendment (Annual Charges) Act 2008 on 1 January 2009.

What this means:

The amendments to annual charges for therapeutic goods (medicines and medical devices) contained in Schedule 1 take effect from this date.
Companies and individuals who register or list therapeutic goods with the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) become subject to the new or amended annual charging provisions from 1 January 2009.

Why this matters: Without this proclamation, the amendments passed by Parliament would remain dormant (not operational law). This document is the legal trigger that makes the charging changes live and enforceable.
