What you get

The whole Act, decoded into tools you can actually use

Not a PDF you skim once. Two living interactive tools plus the analysis behind them, so you can find the clause that affects you in seconds.

01

The Six-Way Explorer

Read the Act through six lenses: function, entitlement, participant cohort, delegation, instrument type and commencement timing.

Interactive tool
02

The 50 Levers

How the Act steps around Parliament, the two tools it blocks, and the levers that still work, from disallowance to the High Court.

Interactive tool
03

Clause pointers throughout

Every claim is tied back to the Act text, so you can verify it and quote it, not just trust it.

Traceable
04

Your new compliance obligations, surfaced

The duties the Act creates for registered providers, pulled out and explained, so nothing lands on you by surprise at audit.

Provider-ready
05

Read against the Act as passed

The Bill passed both Houses on 19 August 2026 and received Assent on 20 August 2026 as Act no 66 of 2026, with the first operative powers in force from 27 August 2026. This is a read of the law as enacted, not of the version that was introduced.

As passed
06

Built from tabled analysis

Drawn from MAGNA's fiscal brief tabled with the JCPAA and our co-authored Senate submission, not a second-hand read.

Why trust MAGNA on this

We did not summarise the Act · we were on the record about it

Tabled with the JCPAA

Parliament-grade analysis

MAGNA's fiscal analysis of the reforms was provided to the Joint Committee of Public Accounts and Audit. This product is built from that work.

Senate submission

On the public record

MAGNA co-authored a submission to the Senate inquiry on the Bill. The detail in these tools is the detail we put to the Parliament.

A standing director bench

Policy and provider fluency

Written by people who advise providers and engage the Commonwealth, so it reads for what you have to do, not just what the Act says.
