General provisions

10: Comparative tables of old and new provisions

You could also call this:

“Tables comparing old and new laws to help understand changes”

Schedule 12 is a helpful tool that shows you how the old laws match up with the new ones. It compares the Social Security Act 1964 and the Social Welfare Act 1990 with the new Social Security Act 2018.

The schedule is split into three parts:

Part A looks at each part of the old Social Security Act. It tells you where to find the same information in the new law, or if that part isn’t used anymore.

Part B does the same thing for the old Social Welfare Act. It shows you where to find the matching parts in the new law, or if they’ve been removed.

Part C goes through the new Social Security Act 2018. It shows you which parts of the old laws match up with each new section, or if it’s completely new.

Remember, this schedule is there to help you find your way around the new and old laws. But it’s not perfect, so you shouldn’t rely on it completely to understand how the laws relate to each other.
