Health Services Act 1997

This Act, the regulations under this Act, and the Fines Act 1996, as in force immediately before the repeal of Schedule 9 by the State Debt Recovery Act 2018, continue to apply in respect of any fee recovery order made under this Act before that repeal, as if the State Debt Recovery Act 2018 had not been enacted.

The State Debt Recovery Act 2018 extends to any ambulance fee that became payable, or is incurred for a service that was provided, before the commencement of that Act. Accordingly, that fee may be referred to the Chief Commissioner of State Revenue for debt recovery action under that Act.

However, a fee cannot be referred to the Chief Commissioner for debt recovery action under the State Debt Recovery Act 2018 if the fee is the subject of fee recovery action under Schedule 9, unless the fee recovery order is withdrawn.
