CIVIL UNIONS ACT 2012 - SECT 3

The dictionary at the end of this Act is part of this Act.

Note 1     The dictionary at the end of this Act defines certain terms used in this Act, and includes references ("signpost definitions") to other terms defined elsewhere in this Act.

For example, the signpost definition ‘ reviewable decision , for part 4 (Notification and review of decisions)—see section 18.' means that the term ‘reviewable decision' is defined in that section for part 4.
