EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
STATUTORY RULES 1982 NO. 165
ISSUED BY THE AUTHORITY OF THE MINISTER FOR DEFENCE AMENDMENT OF THE DEFENCE FORCE (RESERVES) (FINANCIAL) REGULATIONS
Section 12 of the Defence Amendment Act 1979 provides that the Minister may make interim determinations amending or repealing regulations. The Act also deems such interim determinations to be Statutory Rules.
Regulation 4 and Schedule 3 of the Defence Force (Reserves) (Financial) Regulations contain the rates of salaries payable to medical and dental officers of the Reserve Force.
These Statutory Rules provide for increased rates of salary payable to those officers.
The increase in salaries flows from an interim increase approved for medical categories in the Australian Public Service.
The date of effect is 31 December 1981, the date the increase was approved for the Australian Public Service.
