Plain English Summary

1/10 complexity

These regulations set the daily payment rate for tuberculosis benefits under the Tuberculosis Act 1945.

What it does:

Fixes the payment rate at six shillings per day (roughly $0.60 in today's currency) for tuberculosis patients or their dependents claiming benefits.
Applies to the year 1946 and continues automatically for every year after.

Why it matters: This single-paragraph regulation determines how much financial support Australians with tuberculosis (or their families) received daily during the mid-20th century. The amount was set once in 1946 and remained unchanged unless new regulations were made.
