Illustration for Fisheries Act 1996

The Minister can make rules for organisations that deliver services. You need to know these rules are about how they do their jobs. The Minister can change or cancel these rules at any time. The Minister's rules can say what jobs these organisations must do. They can also say how well they must do their jobs and what records they must keep. The rules can even say what reports they must give to the Minister. These rules can apply to one organisation or to many. If an organisation has to follow these rules, it must do so for the jobs it is responsible for. The rules are there to help the organisations do their jobs properly, as stated in the section 296B and section 296C(5) of the Fisheries Act 1996.
