Creative Australia (Consequential and Transitional Provisions) Act 2023

Here is a brief overview of the Creative Australia (Consequential and Transitional Provisions) Act 2023:

The Creative Australia (Consequential and Transitional Provisions) Act 2023 aims to address consequential and transitional matters arising from the enactment of the Creative Australia Act 2023. The Act commences at the same time as the Creative Australia Act 2023, but with some provisions having a different commencement date.

The Act repeals certain sections of the Australia Council Act 2013 and amends or repeals other legislation specified in the applicable items of Schedule 1. It also deals with transitional matters, including the appointment of CEOs, employees, and consultants to Creative Australia; the transfer of appropriated money; and the preparation of annual reports.

The Act provides for compensation in certain circumstances where property is acquired by the Commonwealth under this Act; and makes provision for rules that may be made to carry out or give effect to the Act. The Act also includes miscellaneous provisions, such as rules and transitional arrangements.

Overall, the Creative Australia (Consequential and Transitional Provisions) Act 2023 is designed to facilitate a smooth transition from the old Australia Council to the new Creative Australia entity.
