About this source
This feed tracks every Australian federal legislative instrument registered on the Federal Register of Legislation in the last 7 days. Legislative instruments are how Australian federal regulators (ASIC, APRA, ACCC, the TGA, AUSTRAC, the ATO, and dozens of departmental delegates) actually make and amend rules between Acts of Parliament. Around 220 instruments a month, ranging from narrow scarcity declarations to scheme-wide rule rewrites. GovPing publishes each as soon as it lands on legislation.gov.au. Watch this if you advise on Australian financial services, therapeutic goods, AML, consumer credit, or any sector where the substantive rules live in delegated legislation rather than primary statute. Recent: an ASIC instrument on serviced apartment schemes, a TGA scarcity declaration on clonidine.
