You could also call this:

"Rules the Governor-General makes to help the prostitution law work properly"

The Governor-General can make rules for many things, including what some important papers should look like, like warrants issued under sections 27 and 30. You need to follow these rules when you are applying for a certificate, and they tell you what forms and fees are required under Part 3.

The Governor-General can also make rules about how to prove that photographs are real, what size they should be, and how many copies you need to supply. They can decide which office of the District Court will handle certain tasks under Part 3.

The Governor-General can make rules about a committee that reviews the prostitution laws, including what the committee can do, who is on it, and how it is run. They can also make rules about other things that are necessary to make the law work properly. Regulations made under this section are a type of law, and you can find out more about how they are published by looking at Part 3 of the Legislation Act 2019.
