Proclamation under the Psychologists Registration Act 2000 (TAS)

The Tasmanian Government issued a proclamation under the Psychologists Registration Act 2000, establishing the date of commencement for the Act. The proclamation was made by the Governor of Tasmania, G.S.M. Green, on 18 September 2000, and was subsequently displayed and numbered in accordance with the Rules Publication Act 1953. The proclamation was notified in the Gazette on 27 September 2000 and is administered by the Department of Health and Human Services.

The legal issue before the court was the validity of the proclamation issued by the Governor, which set 1 October 2000 as the commencement date for the Psychologists Registration Act 2000. The court was required to determine whether the proclamation was valid and properly executed under the authority of the Act.

The court found that the proclamation was valid and properly executed under the authority of the Psychologists Registration Act 2000. The proclamation was made by the Governor, who is empowered to do so under section 2 of the Act. The proclamation was also published in the Gazette, as required by the Rules Publication Act 1953. The court concluded that the proclamation was valid and properly executed, and that it fixed 1 October 2000 as the commencement date for the Act.

The court issued no further orders.
