EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
Issued by the authority of the Minister for Health and Ageing
Health and Ageing Revocation Instrument 2009 (No. 1)
Aged Care Act 1997
Aged Care (Consequential Provisions) Act 1997
Health Insurance Act 1973
National Health Act 1953
The Health and Ageing Revocation Instrument 2009 (No. 1) repeals 92 legislative instruments all of which no longer have any function or purpose.
The revocation of these instruments is as a result of the whole of Government review of redundant regulation. The overall purpose of the review is to reduce costs incurred by business in complying with outdated regulatory requirements. Revocation of these instruments gives effect to the Government’s commitment to reduce the impact of poorly designed and ineffective regulation on Australian business.
This instrument addresses regulation that was identified during, and subsequent to, a comprehensive stocktake of Commonwealth regulation which was completed in 2008.
Schedules 1, 2, 3 and 4 of the instrument repeal the whole of each specified legislative instrument.
The instrument will take effect on the day after it is registered on the Federal Register of Legislative Instruments.
Consultation
No external consultation was undertaken in the making of this instrument. The subject regulation is redundant and no longer has any effect, and its repeal would have no impact.
