Implementation Options for National Legislative Schemes in Public Health (1999)

This report describes the current constitutional position with respect to the ability of the Commonwealth and the States and Territories to legislate in the area of public health. It serves to provide a very helpful range of options for legislators and administrators who are considering a national legislative scheme and are unsure about how it would be best implemented.

This report was commissioned from the Centre for Comparative Constitutional Studies by the Legislative Reform Working Group for the purpose of providing a clear and comprehensive outline of the framework in which intergovernmental arrangements may have some application in the public health area, and to provide a guide for future decision-making and policy implementation.
