Note: The number of hours of recognised activity for an individual to be counted towards the recognised activity result may be affected by Minister's rules made for the purposes of subclause (4), or a Secretary's determination made under subclause (5).

What is recognised activity
 (2) An individual engages in recognised activity if the individual engages in any one or more of the following:
 (a) paid work (whether or not as an employee);
 (b) a training course for the purpose of improving the individual's work skills or employment prospects, or both;
 (c) an approved course of education or study;
 (d) an activity prescribed by the Minister's rules, in circumstances (if any) prescribed by those rules;
 (e) an activity determined for the individual by the Secretary under subclause (5), in circumstances (if any) specified in the determination.
Note 1: The definition of paid work in section 3B does not apply in relation to paragraph (2)(a) of this clause. For the purposes of that paragraph, paid work has its ordinary meaning.

 (b) a maximum number of hours that are to be counted towards the activity in that fortnight (including a maximum number of hours taken to be so counted by the operation of rules made for the purposes of paragraph (a)).
