Commonwealth Legislation
Finding legislation
- COMLAW
- ComLaw is the legal information retrieval system owned by the Australian Attorney-General's Department. ComLaw is an integral part of the Australian Law Online initiative to bring low or no-cost access to the law for the community.
- ComLaw contains:
- Commonwealth primary legislation, as well as other ancillary documents and information, in electronic form, and
- the new Federal Register of Legislative Instruments (FRLI).
- previous compilations retained as Historical Data. If you want to see an item of legislation as it looked at a particular date, the historical data is the place to look. The historical data also includes legislation of the Commonwealth that is no longer in force.
