This Act was originally a Commonwealth ordinance—the Workmen’s
Compensation Ordinance 1951 No 2 (Cwlth).
The Australian Capital Territory (Self-Government) Act 1988 (Cwlth), s 34 (4)
converted most former Commonwealth ordinances in force in the ACT into ACT
enactments. This allowed the ACT Legislative Assembly to amend and repeal the
laws. This Act was converted into an ACT enactment on 11 May 1989 (self-
government day).
As with most ordinances in force in the ACT, the name was changed from
Ordinance to Act by the Self-Government (Citation of Laws) 1989 A1989-21, s 5
on 11 May 1989 (self-government day).
The Act was renamed as the Workers’ Compensation Act 1951 by the Workers’
Compensation (Amendment) Act 1991 A1991-105, and later renamed as the
Workers Compensation Act 1951 under the Legislation Act 2001 (see also
A2001-81 s 5).
Before 11 May 1989, ordinances commenced on their notification day unless
otherwise stated (see Seat of Government (Administration) Act 1910 (Cwlth), s 12).
