Plain-language summary
Written by a model from the explanatory memorandum; not the record, as at 2013-11-20.
This bill updates the Australian Civilian Corps Act 2011 after the aid agency AusAID was abolished and merged into the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade.
It transfers the powers and duties of the former AusAID head to the DFAT Secretary and replaces all references to AusAID and its director with DFAT and its secretary.
The changes take effect from 1 November 2013, and the bill also updates several subordinate legislative instruments and directions.
- Transfers powers and functions from the Director-General of AusAID to the Secretary of DFAT.
- Substitutes references to AusAID and its Director-General with DFAT and its Secretary in the Act.
- Makes consequential amendments to the Australian Civilian Corps Regulations 2011 and related directions.
The Australian Civilian Corps, the Secretary of DFAT, and staff and operations formerly under AusAID.
