Illustration for Intellectual Disability (Compulsory Care and Rehabilitation) Act 2003

The Governor-General can make rules for many things, including what forms to use and how to manage secure care facilities. You need to follow these rules when dealing with intellectual disability care. The Governor-General can also make rules about how much lawyers get paid for their services, and this can depend on how complicated the case is and how much time they spend on it.

The Governor-General can make rules about collecting biometric information from special care recipients, as mentioned in section 62A. They can also make rules about the fees and expenses for professional services provided by lawyers appointed under section 124 or section 125.

These rules are called secondary legislation, which means they are made under an Act of Parliament, and you can find out more about this in Part 3 of the Legislation Act 2019.
