Tradesmen's Rights Regulation Act

Tradespersons' Rights Regulations

The Tradesmen's Rights Regulation Act 1946 (the Act) provides for the recognition of tradesmen of certain classifications by the grant of a tradesmen's certificate to eligible persons by "Local Committees" established under the Act.

Section 51A of the Act provides that the Governor-General may make regulations to provide that a specified trade shall be the subject of a grant of a tradesmen's certificate or that a specified trade shall cease to be the subject of a grant of a tradesmen's certificate.

The regulations were required to ensure that the trade classifications used in the Act were compatible with those used in industry, that they were relevant to restructured awards and that they used gender neutral language.

Regulation 1 provides that the Regulations may be cited as the Tradespersons' Rights Regulations.

Regulation 2 provides that in the Regulations, "the Act" means the Tradesmen's Rights Regulation Act 1946.

Regulation 3 provides that the parts of the Act referred to will apply to those trades itemised in Schedule 1.

Regulation 4 provides that the parts of the Act referred to will cease to apply to those trades itemised in Schedule 2.

Regulation 5 repeals the previous Tradesmen's Rights Regulations.
