Acts are laws made by Parliament
(1) The Governor-General may, by Order in Council made on the Minister's recommendation, declare health or disability services of any kind to be services to which this Act applies.
(2) The Minister must not recommend the making of an order unless satisfied that—
(a) service standards for services of the kind concerned are in force, or will be in force within 12 months of the commencement of the order; and
(b) the order will come into force late enough to give affected providers a reasonable time to comply with the standards, and in any event no earlier than 12 months after it is made.
(3) An order cannot be revoked by Order in Council; and cannot be amended by Order in Council except to correct an error or omission.
