Therapeutic Goods Act 1989

A corresponding State law may confer functions or powers, or impose duties, on:

a Commonwealth officer; or

a Commonwealth authority.

Subsection (1) does not authorise the conferral of a function or power, or the imposition of a duty, by a corresponding State law to the extent to which:

the conferral or imposition, or the authorisation, would contravene any constitutional doctrines restricting the duties that may be imposed on Commonwealth officers or Commonwealth authorities; or

the authorisation would otherwise exceed the legislative power of the Commonwealth.

Subsection (1) does not extend to a function, power or duty of a kind specified in regulations made for the purposes of this subsection.

This Act is not intended to exclude or limit the operation of a corresponding State law that confers any functions or powers, or imposes any duties, on a Commonwealth officer or Commonwealth authority to the extent to which that law:

is consistent with subsections (1) to (3); and

is capable of operating concurrently with this Act.
