 (1) The Governor‑General may make regulations prescribing matters:
 (a) required or permitted by this Act to be prescribed; or
 (b) necessary or convenient to be prescribed for carrying out or giving effect to this Act.
 (2) Before the Governor‑General makes regulations under subsection (1), the Minister must:
 (a) if the regulations are for the purposes of section 130, 150 or 162 (which relate to the remuneration and allowances of Board members, members of the Advisory Council and the CEO)—consult the host jurisdictions about the making of the regulations; or
 (b) otherwise—be satisfied that the Commonwealth and each host jurisdiction have agreed to the making of the regulations.

Process for seeking agreement of host jurisdiction
 (3) In seeking the agreement of a host jurisdiction to the making of regulations under this section, the Minister must:
 (a) give a notice (the original notice) in writing to one host jurisdiction Minister for that host jurisdiction seeking the agreement of that host jurisdiction to the making of the regulations and requesting the agreement be given before the end of 28 days beginning on the day the notice is given; and
 (b) provide a copy of the proposed regulations to that host jurisdiction Minister.
 (4) If, immediately before the end of that 28‑day period:
 (a) no host jurisdiction Minister for a host jurisdiction has informed the Minister whether that host jurisdiction agrees to the making of the regulations; and
 (b) no host jurisdiction Minister for that host jurisdiction has made a request under subsection (5);
then, at the end of that period, that host jurisdiction is taken to have agreed to the making of the regulations.
