Victorian Consolidated Legislation

Health Services Act 1988 - SECT 43

Public hospitals and denominational hospitals excluded from Corporations legislation

43. Public hospitals and denominational hospitals excluded from Corporations
legislation

The following matters are declared to be excluded matters for the purposes of
section 5F of the Corporations Act in relation to the whole of the
Corporations legislation-

   (a)  a public hospital;

   (b)  a denominational hospital, other than a denominational hospital that
        is a company within the meaning of the Corporations Act.

Note This section ensures that neither the Corporations Act nor Part 3 of the
ASIC Act will apply in relation to a public hospital or denominational
hospital (other than a denominational hospital that is a Corporations Act
company). Section 5F of the Corporations Act provides that if a State law
declares a matter to be an excluded matter in relation to the whole of the
Corporations legislation, then that legislation will not apply in relation to
that matter in the State concerned.
