Clinical Waste (Fees) Determination 2010 (No 1)
Disallowable Instrument DI2010-145
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 2009-80) that set fees for the 2009-2010 financial year, and establishes fees from 1 July 2010.

This determination increases fees in accordance with the Wage Price Index estimate for 2010-11 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 2010.
