NOTES
1.	The Ombudsman Regulations (in force under the Ombudsman Act 1989) as shown in this reprint comprise Regulations 1989 No. 9 amended as indicated in the Tables below.
	The Ombudsman Regulations were amended by the Betting (Corporatisation) (Consequential Amendments) Act 1996.  The amendments are incorporated in this reprint.
	Citation of Laws—The Self-Government (Citation of Laws) Act 1989  (No. 21, 1989) altered the citation of most Ordinances so that after Self-Government day they are to be cited as Acts.  That Act also affects references in ACT laws to Commonwealth Acts.
2.	The Legislation (Republication) Act 1996 (No. 51, 1996) authorises the Parliamentary Counsel in preparing a law for republication, to make certain editorial and other formal amendments in accordance with current legislative drafting practice.  Those amendments make no change in the law.  Amendments made pursuant to that Act do not appear in the Table of Amendments but details may be obtained on request from the Parliamentary Counsel’s Office.
