ComLaw

A legal information retrieval system containing Commonwealth primary legislation as well as other ancillary documents and information.

ComLaw, incorporating the Federal Register of Legislative Instruments (FRLI), is the legal information retrieval system owned by the Australian Attorney-General's Department.

As new, up-to-date compilations are added to ComLaw and the FRLI, the previous compilations are retained as Historical Data. If you want to see an item of legislation as it looked at a particular date, the historical data is the place to look. The historical data also includes legislation of the Commonwealth that is no longer in force.
