Reader's Guide

1              Warning!

1.1       This guide is intended only to help you to understand and use the Quarantine Regulations 2000 (these Regulations). It is not part of the law and is not intended to replace reading these Regulations. It is also not a complete summary of the law of quarantine in Australia.

2              What quarantine is all about

2.1       The quarantine system is designed to prevent the introduction into Australia, the establishment in Australia, or the spread within Australia, of human, animal or plant pests and diseases. Effective and efficient quarantine controls enhance the quality of life of all Australians by protecting public health, contributing to the Australia's comparative advantage in agricultural production, reducing the need to use chemicals to prevent and control pests and diseases, protecting native flora and fauna and promoting Australia as a tourist destination.

2.2       There are Commonwealth, and State and Territory laws regulating quarantine. Under the Constitution the Commonwealth does not have exclusive power to make laws in relation to quarantine, and therefore, Commonwealth and State laws on quarantine co‑exist. However, under section 109 of the Constitution, if a State law is inconsistent with a Commonwealth law, the Commonwealth law prevails and the State law is invalid to the extent of the inconsistency. State and Territory laws are not dealt with in this Guide. For information on the law of a State or Territory, refer to the relevant State or Territory agency.

3              Commonwealth legislation

3.1       The basic Commonwealth law is contained in the Quarantine Act 1908 (the Quarantine Act).  The Quarantine Act has broad coverage over matters of quarantine concern in Australia. In particular, section 4 of the Act describes the scope of quarantine as follows:

4   Scope of quarantine

        In this Act, quarantine includes, but is not limited to, measures:

                     (a)  for, or in relation to, the examination, exclusion, detention, observation, segregation, isolation, protection, treatment and regulation of vessels, installations, human beings, animals, plants or other goods or things; and

                     (b)  having as their object the prevention or control of the introduction, establishment or spread of diseases or pests that will or could cause significant damage to human beings, animals, plants, other aspects of the environment or economic activities.

3.2       The Quarantine Act provides for certain matters to be dealt with in regulations, proclamations and determinations.

3.3       These are the only set of Regulations now in force. The Quarantine (General) Regulations 1956, the Quarantine (Animals) Regulations, the Quarantine (Plants) Regulations and the Quarantine (Cocos Islands) Regulations 1982 have been repealed. For the application of these Regulations to the Territory of Cocos (Keeling) Islands, the Territory of Christmas Island and other external Territories, see paragraph 4 below.

3.4       There are 3 Quarantine Proclamations (the Proclamations) now in force, and each has its own Reader's Guide. The Proclamations are:

(a)        the Quarantine Proclamation 1998; and

(b)        the Quarantine (Cocos Islands) Proclamation 2004; and

(c)        the Quarantine (Christmas Island) Proclamation 2004.

3.5       If it is necessary to read a provision of these Regulations together with the Quarantine Act or the Proclamations to fully understand the provision, either the provision itself or a note to the provision will usually refer you to the relevant provision of the Act or the Proclamations.

3.6       The Quarantine Act, the Regulations and the Proclamations can be accessed through the Australian Quarantine and Inspection Service Internet site at www.aqis.gov.au/law/index.htm or from the SCALEplus website (maintained by the Attorney‑General's Department) at http://law.gov.au. Other laws, such as the Acts Interpretation Act 1901 and the Electronic Transactions Act 1999 mentioned below, can also be found at the SCALEplus website.

4              Application to the external Territories

4.1       Section 6 of the Quarantine Act states that the Act extends to the Cocos Islands and to Christmas Island. Cocos Islands is defined in section 5 of the Act to mean the Territory of Cocos (Keeling) Islands. Christmas Island is defined in section 5 of the Act to mean the Territory of Christmas Island. Subregulation 3 (1) of these Regulations makes it clear that these Regulations do apply to the Cocos Islands and to Christmas Island.

4.3       Under section 6AB of the Quarantine Act, the Act also extends to the Territory of Ashmore and Cartier Islands.

4.4       In conclusion, these Regulations apply to the following external Territories:

*                Ashmore and Cartier Islands

*               Christmas Island

*               Cocos Islands

but do not apply to the following external Territories:

*                Australian Antarctic Territory

*                Coral Sea Islands

*                Heard and McDonald Islands

*                Norfolk Island.

4.5       In these Regulations, the word Australia does not include the Cocos Islands or Christmas Island, but includes the Territory of Ashmore and Cartier Islands. (See subregulation 3 (2) of these Regulations.)

5              What do these Regulations do?

5.1       The power to make regulations under the Quarantine Act comes from section 87 of the Act. Subsection 87 (1) states the matters for which regulations may be made. The power may be expressed in general terms, as in paragraph 87 (1) (a) which gives power to make regulations for regulating the performance of quarantine. (See, for example, Divisions 2 and 3 of Part 4 of these Regulations.) On the other hand, the power may be more specific, as in paragraph 87 (1) (rb) which gives power to prescribe the manner in which permission etc., made under the Act, the Regulations and the Proclamations, may be produced to a person or body. (See, for example, regulation 78 of these Regulations.)

5.2       The matters mentioned in subsection 87 (1) of the Quarantine Act also include matters which are required by the Act to be prescribed. For example, under subsection 27A (2) of the Act, masters of certain vessels or installations must cause the prescribed information to be given to a quarantine officer. This means detail of the information is to be set out in the regulations.  (See, for example, regulation 10 of these Regulations.)

5.3       These Regulations create offences for failing to comply with certain provisions of these Regulations. The penalty for an offence is stated at the bottom of a provision and is expressed as a number of penalty units. Currently, 1 penalty unit is $110. Penalty unit is defined in subsection 4AA (1) of the Crimes Act 1914, and the amount may vary as that subsection is amended from time to time.

6              Meaning of words used in these Regulations

6.1       If a word or term used in these Regulations has a special meaning, it will often be defined in regulation 4 of these Regulations. For example, illness, as defined in regulation 4, has a narrower meaning than its meaning normally understood.

6.2       The note in regulation 4 sets out the words and terms used in these Regulations that are defined in the Quarantine Act. Unless these Regulations state or imply otherwise, these words and terms have the same meanings here as they are defined in the Act. For example vessel used here means vessel as defined in subsection 5 (1) of the Act which includes an aircraft.

6.3       If in a particular provision a word or term has a special meaning, it will be defined in that provision.

6.4       The Acts Interpretation Act 1901 might also affect the meaning of some words and terms used in these Regulations. For example, the word department is defined in subsection 19A (3) of the Acts Interpretation Act 1901. Applying that definition, department used here means the Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry.

7              How are these Regulations arranged?

7.1       These Regulations are arranged so that similar matters are dealt with together.

7.2       These Regulations are organised into Parts, and some of the Parts are divided into Divisions. The Parts are as follows:

*                  Part 1 -- Preliminary

*                  Part 2 -- Vessels and installations

*                 Part 3 -- Persons travelling to Australia, the Cocos Islands or Christmas Island

*                  Part 4 -- Performance of quarantine

*                  Part 5 -- Importation of goods

*                  Part 6 -- Infringement notice offences and infringement notices

*                  Part 6A -- Import Risk Analysis

*                  Part 7 -- Miscellaneous.

7.3       Following Part 7 is Schedule 1, which lists the Acts prescribed by regulation 40 for section 46A of the Quarantine Act. The list is put
in Schedule 1 as it cannot be conveniently put into the text of that regulation.

7.4       Part 2 contains provisions relating to vessels and installations, and sets out the requirements imposed on masters of certain vessels and installations (as noted in subparagraph 6.2 above, vessels include aircraft, and masters can mean commanders of aircraft).

7.5       Part 3 contains provisions relating to persons travelling to Australia, Christmas Island or the Cocos Islands.

7.6       Part 4 is about performance of quarantine. Matters dealt with in Part 4 include:

*                 when and how orders into quarantine are to be given (see regulations 36 to 39A)

*                 specific requirements relating to applications for approvals of places under section 46A of the Quarantine Act (see regulation 40)

*                 the information that must be included in a certificate of release under section 35B of the Quarantine Act (regulation 41)

*                 matters relating to persons under quarantine surveillance (see Division 3).

7.7       Part 5 is about importation of goods. It sets out how notices under subsection 16AC (1) or (2) of the Quarantine Act and certain other notices may be given.

7.8       Part 6 contains provisions relating to infringement notices. An infringement notice may be served on a person who is believed to
have contravened certain provisions of the Quarantine Act or these Regulations. An infringement notice may be served as an alternative to prosecuting the person.

7.9       Part 6A sets out certain steps to be carried out in the conduct of a standard or expanded import risk analysis, the timeframes that are to apply to those steps, publication requirements and provisions for termination.

7.10     Part 7 contains the miscellaneous provisions. Matters dealt with in Part 7 include:

*                 permit applications under the Proclamations (see regulations 70 and 71)

*                 compliance agreements mentioned in section 66B of the Act (see Division 2)

*                 seizure, and notices of seizure, of animals, plants or other goods under section 68 or 69 of the Act (see Division 3)

*                 generally how notices and information may be given (see Division 4)

*                 how certain rights and obligations under the Quarantine (General) Regulations 1956 are affected by the repeal of those Regulations.

8              Electronic transactions

8.1       A number of notes in these Regulations refer to the Electronic Transactions Act 1999.  Subsection 9 (1) of the Electronic Transactions Act 1999 states that if, under a law of the Commonwealth, a person is required to give information in writing, that requirement is taken to have been met if the person gives the information by means of an electronic communication under certain circumstances.

8.2       The Quarantine Act, these Regulations, the Quarantine (Cocos Islands) Regulations and the Proclamations are laws of the Commonwealth for the purposes of the Electronic Transactions Act 1999. (See subsection 5 (2) of the Electronic Transactions Act 1999 and the Electronic Transactions Regulations 2000.) Giving information is given a very broad meaning under subsection 9 (5) of the Electronic Transactions Act 1999 and includes making an application and giving a notification.

8.3       If you want to communicate with the Australian Quarantine and Inspection Service (AQIS) electronically to give information otherwise required in writing, you will need to check if AQIS requires:

*                 the information to be given, in accordance with particular information technology requirements, by means of a particular kind of electronic communication

*                 particular action to be taken by way of verifying the receipt of the information. (See paragraphs 9 (1) (b) and (c) of the Electronic Transactions Act 1999.)

Information about these requirements may be obtained at the AQIS website at www.aqis.gov.au.
