ACT providers and peak bodies have been consulted at workshops held on 30 November 2011, 9 December 2011 and 28 August 2012. Further briefings occurred with providers on 27 November 2012 and 19 March 2013. There is broad support for the introduction of the national regulatory system.
Implementation will start for participating jurisdictions on 1 July 2013 through a phased implementation. This will include six months of testing and evaluation of the registration processes and procedures to operate the system—that is phase 1—and registration under the national law to occur over an 18-month transition period from 1 January 2014—phase 2.
