Accident Compensation Act 2001

Preliminary provisions

2: Commencement

You could also call this:

"When different parts of the law start working"

This part of the law explains when different parts of the Accident Compensation Act 2001 start to work. Some parts start right away after the Queen says it's okay. These are the main part and sections 40 to 47, 265, and 274(3). They start the day after the Queen approves the Act. Two small parts, called clauses 56(5) and 64(2) of Schedule 1, start on 1 April 2003. All the other parts of the Act start on 1 April 2002. This is how the government makes sure everything in the new law starts at the right time.
