"Rules about how to follow the Food Act 2014, like filling out forms and following procedures"

Illustration for Food Act 2014

The Governor-General can make rules about things like forms and procedures for the Food Act 2014. You need to follow these rules when you are doing things that are part of this Act. The Minister has to make sure people have been asked for their thoughts on these rules before they are made, in accordance with section 379.

The Minister must be satisfied that everyone who needs to be consulted has been consulted. This is an important step before the rules are made. The rules are called secondary legislation, which means they are a type of law that supports the main law.

When these rules are made, they have to be published in a certain way, as explained in Part 3 of the Legislation Act 2019.
