Clinical Waste (Fees) Determination 2009 (No 1)
Disallowable Instrument DI2009-80
made under the
Clinical Waste Act 1990, section 40 – Determination of fees

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

Section 40 of the Clinical Waste Act 1990 permits the Minister to determine fees for the purposes of the Act.

This determination revokes the previous fee determination (DI 2008-147) that set fees for the 2008-2009 financial year and establishes fees from 1 July 2009.

This determination increases fees in accordance with the Wage Price Index estimate for 2009-10 of 3.5%, consistent with the Government’s announcement, made as part of the 2006-07 ACT Budget, on the indexing of government fees and charges.  The increased fees are rounded down to the nearest 5 cents.

The determination takes effect on 1 July 2009.
