By Authority: A. J. Arthur, Commonwealth Government Printer, Canberra

Overview

The Statutory Rules 1967 No. 21, Regulations Under the Naval Defence Act 1910-1966, were enacted to amend the Naval Financial Regulations by adjusting various pay rates for personnel within the Australian Defence Force, specifically the Navy. These amendments were made under the authority of the Governor-General in and over the Commonwealth of Australia, acting with the advice of the Federal Executive Council. The regulations update pay rates to reflect changes in financial conditions and seniority levels across different ranks and branches within the Navy. The amendments apply to service in the Permanent Naval Forces, the Naval Emergency Reserve Forces, or the Citizen Naval Forces from 3 February 1967, and to specific consolidated rates from 23 December 1966. The objective of these regulations is to ensure that remuneration remains competitive and fair, reflecting the roles and responsibilities of personnel within the Navy.

Scope and Application

The Regulations under the Naval Defence Act 1910-1966 apply to personnel within the Australian Navy, including officers, enlisted personnel, medical and dental officers, chaplains, naval dockyard police, and service women. These regulations pertain to the rates of active pay for various ranks and pay seniorities within these categories. The amendments to the Naval Financial Regulations impact the financial compensation for these personnel, affecting their remuneration based on their rank and years of service. The changes are effective from specified dates, with most rates applicable from the third day of February, 1967, and certain rates applicable from the twenty-third day of December, 1966. The regulations extend to service in the Permanent Naval Forces, the Naval Emergency Reserve Forces, and the Citizen Naval Forces, thereby covering a broad spectrum of naval personnel. No exclusions, exemptions, or thresholds are explicitly stated in the text, but the application is limited to the specified personnel and dates mentioned. The scope of the regulations is defined by the amendments to the Naval Financial Regulations, which detail the new pay rates for different categories of naval personnel.

Key Provisions

The Regulations made under the Naval Defence Act 1910-1966 primarily amend the Naval Financial Regulations by adjusting the rates of active pay for various ranks and ratings within the naval forces. Regulation 9 modifies the pay rates for officers on the general list, increasing the daily rates for midshipmen, acting sub-lieutenants, and sub-lieutenants. Regulation 10 adjusts the pay for medical and dental officers, and Regulation 12 provides a new table for chaplains' pay based on their years of seniority. Regulation 15 updates the consolidated rates of pay for certain positions, while Regulations 36 and 37 revise the daily pay rates for naval dockyard police based on their years of service and rank. Additionally, Regulations 251 and 252 update the active pay rates for officers and service women, respectively, based on their rank and years of service. The new schedules replace the existing ones, providing detailed rates of active pay for various ranks and ratings within the naval forces. The Regulations impose obligations on the parties governed by them to adhere to the amended pay rates for officers, ratings, and other personnel within the naval forces. These obligations include ensuring that the updated pay rates are accurately applied and reflected in the payment of salaries to the relevant personnel, starting from the specified dates mentioned in the Regulations. The Regulations also require the updating of relevant records and systems to reflect the new pay rates as per the amended Naval Financial Regulations. For breaches of the Regulations or non-compliance with the mandated pay rates, there are no explicitly stated offences, penalties, or civil/criminal consequences in the text. However, failure to adhere to these Regulations could potentially lead to legal consequences under the overarching Naval Defence Act 1910-1966 or other relevant legislation. The specific penalties would depend on the nature and severity of the breach, as well as any applicable laws at the time of the breach.
