N2  - The National Health Security Act 2007 (the NHS Act) was passed by parliament on 20 September 2007 and received royal assent on 28 September 2007. Its two main operative parts establish different functions, with part 2 establishing formal surveillance requirements within Australia, and part 3 establishing the regulation of security sensitive biological agents (SSBAs). Information and updates on the proposed SSBA regulatory scheme will be available from the SSBA website. Note that Part 1 of the NHS Act provides the preliminary clauses necessary to establish the NHS Act as an act of parliament, and will not be further discussed here.
