Plain English Summary

1/10 complexity

This document is a commencement proclamation — a formal legal notice that switches on specific parts of the Workplace Relations Amendment (A Stronger Safety Net) Act 2007.

What it does

Sets 1 July 2007 as the start date for Schedules 1, 2, 3 and 5 of the Act.
These schedules introduced changes to workplace laws, including adjustments to the safety net of minimum wages and conditions (the "stronger safety net" referenced in the Act’s name).

Who it affects

Employers and employees covered by the federal workplace relations system at that time.
The Australian Fair Pay Commission and other bodies responsible for setting minimum pay rates and conditions.

Why it matters Without this proclamation, the amendments in those schedules would remain dormant on the statute books. This document activated the "stronger safety net" measures, ensuring they became legally enforceable on the specified date.
