Social Security Act 2018

General provisions

13: Status of guides or outlines

You could also call this:

“Guides and outlines in the Act are helpful notes, not official rules”

The law says that if you see any guides or outlines in this Act, they are just there to help explain things. These guides or outlines don’t change or affect the actual rules in the Act. They’re like helpful notes, but the real rules are the important part. So, if you’re looking at the Act, remember that the guides and outlines are just there to make things clearer for you, but they’re not the official rules themselves.
