Welcome to ComLaw (Commonwealth Law)

ComLaw is an integral part of the Australian Law Online initiative to bring low- or no-cost access to the law for the community and is maintained by the Australian Attorney-General's Department.

Comlaw incorporates the Federal Register of Legislative Instruments (FRLI) which was established under section 20 of the Legislative Instruments Act 2003 (the LIA).

 Please Note

From 1 January 2005, most legislation and related material that was previously published on SCALEplus is now being published on ComLaw/FRLI instead.  SCALEplus will continue to be available to users until historical material, and other material not currently accessible from ComLaw, has been migrated to ComLaw.  Data still to be migrated includes:

  • all historical databases,
  • Statutory Rules that are not in force, and
  • the legislation of the non-self-governing Territories.
