“This explains what certain words mean in the rules about breastfeeding at work.”

In this part of the law, unless the text says otherwise, there are two important terms you need to know:

Breastfeeding doesn’t just mean feeding a baby directly. It also includes when a mother expresses breast milk, which means collecting milk without the baby feeding directly.

Work period has a special meaning in this law. To understand what it means, you need to look at section 69ZC of the same act.
