EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
STATUTORY RULES 1985 NO. 72
ISSUED BY THE AUTHORITY OF THE MINISTER FOR DEFENCE
AIR FORCE (WOMEN’S SERVICES) REGULATIONS (REPEAL)
The Air Force (Women’s Services) Regulations, made under the Air Force Act 1923, made special provision for the Royal Australian Air Force Nursing Service and the Women’s Royal Australian Air Force. Members of those services have now been assimilated into the Royal Australian Air Force and there is no longer a need for separate provisions for female members.
This Statutory Rule repeals the Air Force (Women’s Services) Regulations.
The repeal has effect from the date of Gazettal of the Statutory Rule.
