We produce law administration practice statements (practice statements) primarily to provide direction to our staff on approaches to take when performing duties involving the laws we administer.
Practice statements are not law and are not public rulings. They are not intended to provide interpretative advice, but technical issues may be discussed in practice statements in the course of providing directions to our staff. This may be particularly relevant for matters covered in the Advice under development program.
For more information, see Law Administration Practice Statement PS LA 1998/1 Law administration practice statements.
You can view our full list of practice statements on the Legal database.
