Overview

Statutory Rules 1944, No. 95, Regulations under the Defence Act 1903-1941 and the Naval Defence Act 1910-1934, was enacted by the Governor-General in Council to amend the Naval Financial Regulations, providing specific allowances for various naval duties and adjusting the definition of pay for certain members of the Auxiliary Services. These amendments aimed to ensure appropriate compensation for ratings who performed specific duties during particular periods and to clarify the payment structure for members of the Auxiliary Services. This legislative instrument was a response to the evolving needs of the naval forces during a period of significant conflict and operational expansion.

Scope and Application

This statutory instrument, made under the Defence Act 1903-1941 and the Naval Defence Act 1910-1934, amends the Naval Financial Regulations to adjust allowances and pay rates for specific duties within the Australian Navy. It applies to naval ratings and members of the Auxiliary Services who performed specific duties within certain dates and are in receipt of sea-going rates of pay. The regulations adjust allowances for duties such as Command of Tenders, Coastal Force Coxswain, Fire Control, and Signalman, Landing Craft, ensuring that ratings who performed these duties during the specified periods are compensated at the correct rate. The amendments also clarify the definition of pay for members of the Auxiliary Services, distinguishing between those receiving sea-going rates and those not. This legislation operates on a national level, impacting personnel across all states and territories of Australia who are employed by or associated with the Royal Australian Navy under the scope of these Acts.

Key Provisions

The Statutory Rules 1944, No. 95, under the Defence Act 1903-1941 and the Naval Defence Act 1910-1934, amend the Naval Financial Regulations. Specifically, regulation 48 of the Naval Financial Regulations is modified to include new sub-regulations for allowances. These are for the duties of Command of Tenders, Coastal Force Coxswain, Higher and Lower Grade Fire Control, and Signalman, Landing Craft. Additionally, regulation 141 of the Naval Financial Regulations is amended to adjust definitions and payments, particularly for members of the Auxiliary Services receiving sea-going rates of pay. These Regulations impose specific obligations on naval ratings and the Naval Financial Regulations. For example, ratings who performed certain duties during specified periods may claim allowances under the amended regulations. Furthermore, any payments made pursuant to the original regulations between specific dates must be adjusted according to the new provisions. Breaches of these Regulations or failure to comply with the imposed obligations may lead to legal consequences. However, the specific penalties or consequences for non-compliance are not detailed in the Statutory Rules 1944, No. 95. Practitioners should refer to the relevant sections of the Defence Act 1903-1941 and the Naval Defence Act 1910-1934 for any potential penalties associated with non-compliance.
