Endnotes, Compilation table, and Table of provisions that have not come into operation

1.Details about the original regulations and legislation that has amended its text are shown in the Compilation table in endnote 1, at the back of the reprint. The table also shows any previous reprint.

2.Transitional, savings, modifying or other provisions identified in the Compilation table may be important. The table may refer to another endnote setting out the text of these provisions in full.

3.A table of provisions that have not come into operation, to be found in endnote 1a if it is needed, lists any provisions of the regulations being reprinted that have not come into operation and any amendments that have not come into operation. The full text is set out in another endnote that is referred to in the table.

Notes amongst text (italicised and within square brackets)

1.If the reprint includes a regulation that was inserted, or has been amended, since the regulations being reprinted were made, editorial notes at the foot of the regulation give some history of how the regulation came to be as it is. If the regulation replaced an earlier regulation, no history of the earlier regulation is given (the full history of the regulations is in the Compilation table).

Notes of this kind may also be at the foot of Schedules or headings.

2.The other kind of editorial note shows something has been —

·removed (because it was repealed or deleted from the law); or

·omitted under the Reprints Act 1984 s. 7(4) (because, although still technically part of the text, it no longer has any effect).

The text of anything removed or omitted can be found in an earlier reprint (if there is one) or one of the written laws identified in the Compilation table.

Reprint numbering and date

1.The reprint number (in the footer of each page of the document) shows how many times the regulations have been reprinted. For example, numbering a reprint as “Reprint 3” would mean that the reprint was the 3rd reprint since the regulations were published. Reprint numbering was implemented as from 1 January 2003.

2.The information in the reprint is current on the date shown as the date as at which the regulations are reprinted. That date is not the date when the reprint was published by the State Law Publisher and it is probably not the date when the most recent amendment had effect.

2Formerly referred to the Workers’ Compensation and Rehabilitation Act 1981, the short title of which was changed to the Workers’ Compensation and Injury Management Act 1981 by the Workers’ Compensation Reform Act 2004 s. 5. The reference was changed under the Reprints Act 1984 s. 7(3)(gb).

3The Miscellaneous Regulations (Validation) Act 1985 applied to these regulations. It deemed the regulations not to have ceased to have effect as a result of the failure to comply with the Interpretation Act 1984 s. 42(1), subject to their being laid before the Legislative Assembly. The Interpretation Act 1984 s. 42(2) then applied as if the words “or if any regulations are not laid before both Houses of Parliament in accordance with subsection (1)” had been omitted.

4The commencement date of 1 September 1990 that was specified in these regulations was before the date of their publication in the Gazette.
