Australian Capital Territory Numbered Regulations

PUBLIC HEALTH REGULATIONS 2000 (2000 NO 1) - REG 3

    The dictionary at the end of these regulations is part of these regulations.

Note 1     The dictionary defines certain words and expressions used in these regulations, and includes references ("signpost definitions") to other words and expressions defined elsewhere in these regulations or in other legislation.

For example, the signpost definition ‘ transmissible notifiable condition —see Public Health Act 1997 , subsection 5 (1)' indicates that the expression transmissible notifiable condition is defined in s 5 (1) of that Act, and that the definition there applies to these regulations.

Note 2     A definition in the dictionary (including a signpost definition) applies to the entire regulations unless the definition, or another provision of the regulations, provides otherwise or the contrary intention otherwise appears (see Interpretation Act 1967 s 11F and s 11G as applied by the Subordinate Laws Act 1989 , s 9).
