Mutual Recognition (Western Australia) Act 2001






An Act to continue the adoption of the Mutual Recognition Act 1992 of the Parliament of the Commonwealth (and any amendments made to it before the enactment of this Act) which provides for the recognition within each State and Territory of the Commonwealth of regulatory standards adopted elsewhere in Australia regarding goods and occupations, and for related purposes.

Background to the enactment of this Act

1. The Parliaments of New South Wales and Queensland each referred matters to the Parliament of the Commonwealth for the purposes of section 51(xxxvii) of the Constitution of the Commonwealth so as to enable the enactment and amendment of legislation to provide for the recognition within each State and Territory of the Commonwealth of regulatory standards adopted elsewhere in Australia regarding goods and occupations.

2. The Parliament of the Commonwealth subsequently enacted the Mutual Recognition Act 1992.

3. The Mutual Recognition (Western Australia) Act 1995 adopted that Commonwealth Act for the purposes of section 51(xxxvii) of the Constitution of the Commonwealth for the period 9 December 1995 to 28 February 2001 (both dates inclusive).
