Part 1 provides that this Act applies to all Acts. This Act also applies to legislative instruments, notifiable instruments and other instruments made under an Act (see subsection 13(1) of the Legislation Act 2003 and subsection 46(1) of this Act).
(d) sections 19 to 20 (which deal generally with references to Ministers and Departments in Acts, and with the effect of machinery of government changes on references to Ministers and Departments and other authorities in Acts and Commonwealth agreements).
Part 10 deals with instruments other than legislative instruments or notifiable instruments. For example, it provides that this Act applies to those instruments and that expressions in those instruments have the same meaning as in the enabling legislation.
Note: This Act also applies to legislative instruments, notifiable instruments and other instruments: see subsection 13(1) of the Legislation Act 2003 and subsection 46(1) of this Act.
Administrative Arrangements Order:
(a) means an instrument (a primary AAO) made by the Governor‑General that is described as an Administrative Arrangements Order; and
(b) includes an instrument made by the Governor‑General that:
(i) amends a primary AAO; or
(ii) revokes a primary AAO and substitutes a new primary AAO.
Note: The Administrative Arrangements Order sets out, from time to time, the matters dealt with by Departments of State of the Commonwealth together with the legislation administered by the Ministers for those Departments.
Australia means the Commonwealth of Australia and, when used in a geographical sense, includes Norfolk Island, the Territory of Christmas Island and the Territory of Cocos (Keeling) Islands, but does not include any other external Territory.
Australian Privacy Principle has the same meaning as in the Privacy Act 1988.
Commonwealth means the Commonwealth of Australia and, when used in a geographical sense, includes Norfolk Island, the Territory of Christmas Island and the Territory of Cocos (Keeling) Islands, but does not include any other external Territory.
judge has a meaning affected by section 16BA.
legislative instrument has the same meaning as in the Legislation Act 2003.
notifiable instrument has the same meaning as in the Legislation Act 2003.
Proclamation means a Proclamation by the Governor‑General that is registered in the Federal Register of Legislation established under the Legislation Act 2003 as a legislative instrument or notifiable instrument.
Note: Some Proclamations provide solely for the commencement of Acts, legislative instruments or notifiable instruments, or provisions of Acts or such instruments. Under section 11 of the Legislation Act 2003, these are notifiable instruments.
Stipendiary Magistrate: see subsections 16C(1) and (3).
Example: Spouse is defined for the purposes of an Act to include a de facto partner and a former spouse. Because of this section, a reference in the Act to a person’s spouse covers any person who is legally married to the person, in addition to any person covered by the definition in the Act.
If an Act or a provision of an Act is expressed to come into operation on a particular day (whether the expression “come into operation” or “commence” is used), it comes into operation at the start of the day.
(3) However, text is not part of an Act, or a compilation of an Act within the meaning of the Legislation Act 2003, if the text:
(a) only indicates the effect of an element of the Act; and
(b) is accessible in an electronic version of the Act or compilation; and
(c) does not appear in the printed text of the Act (or any amendment of the Act) as enacted by the Parliament, or any other printed version of the Act or compilation.
Note: This text is known as alternative text or “alt text”. Alternative text may be accessible in an electronic version of an Act or compilation that is published on an approved website under the Legislation Act 2003. This text may, for example, aurally indicate the effect of a graphic image in an Act to assist users of the website who have visual disabilities.
Where a provision of an Act, whether expressly or by implication, authorises a civil or criminal proceeding to be instituted in a particular court in relation to a matter:
(b) where the reference occurs in or in relation to a provision conferring on the Governor‑General a power or function which the Governor‑General or the person administering the Government of the Commonwealth has for the time being assigned to a person as his or her deputy, that last‑mentioned person in his or her capacity as deputy;
16BA References to judge
In any Act, a reference (whether general or otherwise) to a judge does not include a reference to a Judge, or an acting Judge, of the Local Court of the Northern Territory.
(3) In any Act, a reference to a Stipendiary Magistrate or Magistrate includes a reference to a Judge, or an acting Judge, of the Local Court of the Northern Territory.
19 References to Ministers in Acts
(1) If a provision of an Act refers to a Minister, the following table provides which Minister the provision refers to in relation to a particular matter (the relevant matter) on a particular day (the relevant day).
References to Ministers in Acts
If the provision …
then the Minister referred to is …
refers to a Minister by using the expression “the Minister”, without identifying the Minister
the Minister, or any of the Ministers, administering the provision on the relevant day, in relation to the relevant matter.
refers to a Minister by reference to the fact that the Minister administers any of the following laws:
(a) the Act, that provision or another provision of the Act;
(b) another Act, or a provision of another Act
the Minister, or any of the Ministers, administering that law on the relevant day, in relation to the relevant matter.
refers to a Minister by title (for example, “the Attorney‑General” or “the Minister for Industry”), even if that title no longer exists
(a) if, at the time the provision commenced, or the reference to the Minister was inserted, the Minister referred to by title administered the provision—the Minister, or any of the Ministers, identified by item 1; or
(b) if paragraph (a) does not apply—the Minister currently identified by the title, or by a substituted reference order under section 19B; or
(c) in any case—any other Minister administering the Department of State of the Commonwealth that deals with the matters for which the Minister mentioned in paragraph (a) or (b) (as the case may be) is responsible on the relevant day.
refers to a Minister by describing a matter for which the Minister is responsible (for example, “the Minister responsible for the environment”)
the Minister, or any of the Ministers, administering the Department of State of the Commonwealth that deals with the relevant matter on the relevant day.
(2) Instruments including the following, as in force on the relevant day, or any earlier day, may be used to work out which Minister (or Ministers) is referred to under subsection (1):
(a) an Administrative Arrangements Order;
(b) a substituted reference order under section 19B.
Note: Substituted reference orders under section 19B may have effect in relation to days before the orders are made.
(3) To avoid doubt, if, because of this section, a provision of an Act is taken to require anything to be done by or in relation to any one of 2 or more Ministers, the provision is not taken to require it to be done in any particular case by or in relation to more than one of those Ministers.
Acting Ministers
(4) If a provision of an Act refers to a Minister, the reference is taken to include a reference to a Minister or member of the Executive Council for the time being acting for or on behalf of the Minister.
19A References to Departments in Acts
(1) If a provision of an Act refers to a Department, the following table provides which Department the provision refers to in relation to a particular matter (the relevant matter) on a particular day (the relevant day).
References to Departments in Acts
then the Department is …
refers to a Department by using the expression “the Department”, without identifying the Department
the Department of State of the Commonwealth that is administered by the Minister or Ministers administering that provision in relation to the relevant matter, and that deals with that matter.
refers to a Department by title (for example, “the Attorney‑General’s Department” or “the Department of Industry”), even if that title no longer exists
(a) if, at the time the provision commenced, or the reference to the Department was inserted, the Department referred to by title was administered by the Minister or Ministers administering that provision in relation to the relevant matter—the Department identified by item 1; or
(b) if paragraph (a) does not apply—the Department of State of the Commonwealth identified by the title, or by a substituted reference order under section 19B; or

refers to a Department by describing a matter for which the Department is responsible (for example, “the Department responsible for the environment”)
the Department of State of the Commonwealth that deals with the relevant matter on the relevant day.
Example: A provision of an Act refers to “the Secretary of the Department” but does not identify which Department is referred to. Under item 1, the reference is to the Secretary of the Department administered by the Minister who administers that provision in relation to the relevant matter, and that deals with that matter, as worked out under subsection (2).
(2) Instruments including the following, as in force on the relevant day, or any earlier day, may be used to work out which Department is identified by the table in subsection (1):
19B Machinery of government—substituted reference orders
(a) a provision of an Act refers to an authority (see subsection (7)); and
(b) any of the following happens:
(i) the authority is abolished;
(ii) the name or title of the authority is changed;
(iii) there is a change in the matters dealt with by the authority because of the effect of an Administrative Arrangements Order;
(iv) the reference to the authority becomes no longer appropriate for any other reason.
Substituted reference orders—Ministers, Departments, Agencies and offices
(2) The Governor‑General may make a substituted reference order directing that the provision is to have effect for all purposes, on and after a day specified in the order:
(a) as if there were substituted, for the reference to the authority mentioned in subsection (1), a reference to another specified authority (or authorities); or
(b) as if, in so far as the provision applies in a particular respect specified in the order, there were substituted, for the reference to the authority mentioned in subsection (1), a reference to another specified authority (or authorities).
Note: A substituted reference order may be amended or revoked in the same way as it is made (see subsection 33(3)).
(3) The day specified in the order (as the day on and after which the order is to have effect) may be a day before the order is made.
(4) A substituted reference order has effect according to its terms.
Note: The order has effect for the purpose of the making of any subsequent order under this section.
(5) A substituted reference order is a legislative instrument.
Authority abolished and another established with the same name
(6) A substituted reference order must not be made only because an authority is abolished, and, immediately after its abolition, another authority of the same type, with the same name, is established.
Note: However, a substituted reference order may be made if either of the following happens in relation to the authority:
(a) there is a change in the matters dealt with by the authority because of the effect of an Administrative Arrangements Order (see subparagraph (1)(b)(iii));
(b) a reference to the authority becomes no longer appropriate for any other reason (see subparagraph (1)(b)(iv)).

19C Machinery of government—references to authorities in Commonwealth agreements
(a) a provision of an agreement entered into by or on behalf of the Commonwealth refers to an authority (see subsection (6)) in relation to a particular matter (the relevant matter); and
(b) any of the following happens after the agreement was entered into:
References to authorities in Commonwealth agreements
(2) The following table provides which authority the provision of the agreement is taken to refer to in relation to the relevant matter on a particular day (the relevant day) after the most recent event mentioned in paragraph (1)(b).
If the provision refers to …
then the provision is taken to refer to …
any other authority (the relevant authority)
an authority (including the relevant authority):
(a) exercising the powers, or performing the functions, of the relevant authority on the relevant day; or
(b) determined under subsection (4).
(3) The following instruments, as in force on the relevant day, or any earlier day, may be used to work out which authority is taken to be referred to under subsection (2):
(4) The Minister administering the Department of State of the Commonwealth that deals with the relevant matter may, by notifiable instrument, make a determination for the purposes of item 3 of the table in subsection (2).
Note 1: A determination may be amended or revoked in the same way as it is made (see subsection 33(3)).
Note 2: Notifiable instruments must be registered under the Legislation Act 2003, but they are not subject to parliamentary scrutiny or sunsetting under that Act.
(5) To avoid doubt, if, because of this section, a provision of an agreement entered into by or on behalf of the Commonwealth is taken to require anything to be done by or in relation to any one of 2 or more Ministers, the provision is not taken to require it to be done in any particular case by or in relation to more than one of those Ministers.
19D Machinery of government changes—saving the validity of acts done by authorities
Saving the validity of acts done by authorities
(1) The purported exercise or performance of a power, function or duty by or on behalf of an authority (see subsection (5)) is not invalid merely because, following a machinery of government change, the power, function or duty:
(a) is conferred or imposed on another authority; or
(b) is conferred or imposed on the same authority under another name or title; or
(c) is no longer conferred or imposed on any authority.
(2) Subsection (1) only applies if the authority acted on the basis of a reasonable, but mistaken, belief about the occurrence, timing or nature of the machinery of government change.
Machinery of government change
(3) For the purposes of this section, a machinery of government change occurs if any of the following applies in relation to an authority:
(a) the authority is abolished;
(b) the name or title of the authority is changed;
(c) there is a change in the matters dealt with by the authority because of the effect of an Administrative Arrangements Order;
(d) the authority no longer exercises or performs the power, function or duty for any other reason.
(4) This section applies in relation to a power, function or duty purportedly exercised or performed by or on behalf of an authority, whether before or after the machinery of government change, under any of the following:
(a) an Act or legislative instrument;
(b) an agreement entered into by or on behalf of the Commonwealth;
(c) any other authorisation under a law of the Commonwealth.
authority means any of the following persons or bodies:
20 References to holders of appointments, offices and positions in Acts and Commonwealth agreements
In a provision of an Act, or of an agreement entered into by or on behalf of the Commonwealth, a reference in general terms to the holder or occupier of an office, appointment or position includes all persons who for the time being:
(a) hold or occupy the office, appointment or position; or
(b) perform the duties of the office, appointment or position.
(a) affects the operation of any other law of the Commonwealth, or any law of a State or Territory, that authorises the service of a document otherwise than as provided in that subsection; or
(b) affects the power of a court to authorise service of a document otherwise than as provided in that subsection.
(1) Where an Act authorises or requires any document to be served by post, whether the expression “serve” or the expression “give” or “send” or any other expression is used, then the service shall be deemed to be effected by properly addressing, prepaying and posting the document as a letter and, unless the contrary is proved, to have been effected at the time at which the letter would be delivered in the ordinary course of post.
(3AB) If an Act confers on a person or authority the power to make an instrument (except a legislative instrument, a notifiable instrument or a rule of court):
Note: This provision has a parallel, in relation to legislative instruments, and notifiable instruments, in section 13 of the Legislation Act 2003.
Any court, Judge, justice of the peace, officer, commissioner, arbitrator, or other person authorised by law, or by consent of parties, to hear and determine any matter, shall have authority to receive evidence and examine witnesses and to administer an oath or affirmation to all witnesses legally called before them respectively.
(3) Where an Act requires a person to furnish a periodic report to a Minister for presentation to the Parliament but does not specify a period within which the report is to be so presented, that Minister shall cause a copy of the periodic report to be laid before each House of the Parliament within 15 sitting days of that House after the day on which he or she receives the report.
(4) Where this or any other Act requires a person to furnish a periodic report to a Minister within a specified period and that person is of the opinion that it will not be reasonably possible to comply with the requirement, that person may, within the specified period, apply to the Minister for an extension of the period, and, where he or she does so apply, he or she shall furnish to the Minister a statement in writing explaining why, in that person’s opinion, it will not be reasonably possible to comply with the requirement.
(5) A Minister may, on application under subsection (4), grant such extension as he or she considers reasonable in the circumstances.
(a) the Minister shall cause to be laid before each House of the Parliament, within 3 sitting days of that House after the day on which he or she grants the extension, a copy of the statement furnished pursuant to subsection (4) in respect of the application together with a statement specifying the extension granted and his or her reasons for granting the extension;
(c) the Minister shall cause a copy of the periodic report to be laid before each House of the Parliament within 15 sitting days of that House after the day on which he or she receives the report.
(b) the Minister shall cause a copy of the statement to be laid before each House of the Parliament within 3 sitting days of that House after the day on which he or she receives the statement.
(8) This section does not apply in relation to the Australian Security Intelligence Organisation, the Australian Secret Intelligence Service, the Australian Signals Directorate or the Office of National Assessments.
40 Citation of Acts and instruments
Citation of Acts, legislative instruments and notifiable instruments
(1A) In any Act, instrument or document:
(a) an Act may be cited by:
(i) the short title of the Act; or
(ii) the secular year in which it was passed, and its number; or
(iii) a unique identifier given to the Act in accordance with rules prescribed under the Legislation Act 2003; and
(b) a legislative instrument or notifiable instrument may be cited by:
(i) any name the instrument gives itself; or
(ii) a unique identifier given to the instrument in accordance with rules prescribed under the Legislation Act 2003; or
(iii) if the instrument was numbered under a Commonwealth law—the year it was made and its number, together with a reference (if necessary) to the kind of instrument; or
(iv) if the instrument was notified or published in the Gazette—the date and (if necessary) number and page of the Gazette in which it was notified or published; or
(v) the date it was made, together with a reference to the Act or instrument, and (if necessary) provision, under which it was made.
Citation of Imperial Acts, State Acts and Territory Acts
(1) If a provision confers on a person (the authority) the power to make an instrument other than a legislative instrument, notifiable instrument or a rule of court, then:
(b) expressions used in any instrument so made have the same meaning as in the Act or instrument, as in force from time to time, that authorises the making of the instrument in which the expressions are used; and
(3) The amendment of an instrument, other than a legislative instrument or a notifiable instrument, or a rule of court, by an Act does not prevent the instrument, as so amended, from being amended or repealed by the authority.
Note: This provision has a parallel, in relation to legislative instruments and notifiable instruments, in section 13 of the Legislation Act 2003.
(1) If legislation authorises or requires provision to be made in relation to any matter in an instrument, other than a legislative instrument, a notifiable instrument or a rule of court, that instrument may make provision in relation to that matter:
(a) by applying, adopting or incorporating, with or without modification, any of the following, as in force at a particular time or as in force from time to time:
(i) the provisions of an Act;
(ii) the provisions of a legislative instrument covered by subsection (3); or
(b) subject to subsection (2), by applying, adopting or incorporating, with or without modification, any matter contained in any other instrument or writing as in force or existing at the time when the first‑mentioned instrument commences.
(3) The following legislative instruments are covered by this subsection:
(a) disallowable legislative instruments within the meaning of the Legislation Act 2003;
(b) legislative instruments that were disallowable under this or any other Act at any time before 1 January 2005.
Note 1: Section 4 of the Legislation Act 2003 defines a disallowable legislative instrument as a legislative instrument to which section 42 of that Act applies.
Note 2: The substantive provisions of the Legislation Act 2003 commenced on 1 January 2005.
(4) If an instrument provides for a form to be used, this section does not apply in relation to the form.
Note: This provision has a parallel, in relation to legislative instruments and notifiable instruments, in section 14 of the Legislation Act 2003.
