429: Regulations: participation allowance for people participating in activities

You could also call this:

“Rules for giving money to people who do activities under this law”

The Governor-General can make rules about giving allowances to people who take part in activities under this law. These rules can say different things about the allowances:

They can set different allowances for different activities and types of people. Some people or activities might not get allowances at all.

The rules can say what you need to do to get an allowance.

They can also set how much money you can get as an allowance. This might be different for different activities or people. There might be a limit on how much you can get in total for a certain time.

Sometimes, you might get different allowances for different reasons or activities. The rules can say how to add these up.

The rules can also say when you will get paid these allowances.

These rules are a type of law called secondary legislation. This means they need to be published in a special way, which you can find out about in Part 3 of the Legislation Act 2019.
