The Administrator in and over the State of Tasmania, acting with the advice of the Executive Council, declared 1 August 2005 as the effective date for the Act. The proclamation was signed by the Administrator, E. C. Crawford, and countersigned by Judy Jackson, the Minister for Justice and Industrial Relations.

The proclamation dealt with the commencement of the Professional Standards Act 2005, which likely concerns the regulation of professional standards in Tasmania. The legal issues involved ensuring the correct and lawful implementation of the Act, including setting the effective date for its provisions. The court was not explicitly involved in this proclamation, as it is a formal administrative action rather than a judicial one. However, the proclamation itself sets out the necessary legal framework for the enforcement of the Act.

The proclamation was issued under the authority of the relevant sections of the Professional Standards Act 2005, with the Administrator acting on the advice of the Executive Council. The choice of 1 August 2005 as the commencement date likely follows from legislative planning and may have been based on considerations such as the need for adequate preparation time for compliance with the Act's provisions. The notification in the Gazette ensures that the proclamation is officially recorded and accessible to the public.

The proclamation sets the effective date for the Professional Standards Act 2005 and ensures its lawful implementation. No specific judicial decision was made, but the proclamation serves as a formal administrative action necessary for the enforcement of the Act.
