 1.1.2 Each Part is further divided into Divisions addressing unique groupings within the Part and each Division is made up of Rules containing specific provisions.  Rules do not necessarily have their own Rule headings.
 1.1.3 The Rules have been numbered so that the first number refers to the Part, the second number refers to the Division number within that Part and the third to the Rule number within that Division.  For example, Rule 2.3.1 is the first Rule in Division 3 of Part 2 of the Rules.
 1.1.4 There are several notes within the Rules to help readers understand the more complicated superannuation concepts or to inform them of the need to refer to another area of the Rules.  However, these aids (including Part, Division and Rule headings) do not form part of the Rules.
