332: Regulations relating to information

You could also call this:

"Rules about sharing and collecting information for accident compensation"

The Governor-General can make rules about information that needs to be given and collected. These rules are based on what the Minister and another special Minister suggest. The rules can say what information is needed, how it should be given, and when it's due. This is all to help with the things mentioned in section 279(2) of the law.

Before suggesting any new rules, the Minister has to talk to people or groups that they think should have a say. The Minister decides who these people or groups are based on what the new rules are about.

When these rules are made, they become a type of law called 'secondary legislation'. This means they have to follow certain steps to be published and made official.
