455: Social Security Act 1964 repealed

You could also call this:

“The old Social Security Act from 1964 is no longer used, but some parts still work in a new law”

The Social Security Act 1964 is no longer in effect. This means that the old law about social security has been cancelled. However, some parts of the old law are still active. These parts are about residential care and disability support services. They have been rewritten and put into a new law called the Residential Care and Disability Support Services Act 2018.

When the old law was cancelled, all the rules made under it were also cancelled. But some special orders were kept. You can find out which ones were kept by looking at Schedule 1 of this new law and Schedule 1 of the Residential Care and Disability Support Services Act 2018.
