Y (—) (): I move:

That this bill be now read a second time.

The third bill I'm introducing is the Private Health Insurance (National Joint Replacement Register Levy) Amendment (Consequential Amendments) Bill 2022.

The bill amends the Private Health Insurance (National Joint Replacement Register Levy) Act 2009to reflect the new name of the relevant legislative instrument that may be made under the Private Health Insurance Act 2007 for medical devices and human tissue products.

The new name of the legislative instrument is in the first bill that I introduced today, namely, the Private Health Insurance Amendment (Medical Device List and Cost Recovery) Bill 2022.

A measure in this bill also rectifies an incorrect reference to a ministerial determination in the Private Health Insurance (National Joint Replacement Register Levy) Act 2009.

The measures in this bill do not change any current requirements or obligations which enable the funding of our world renowned National Joint Replacement Register through an industry levy.

Debate adjourned.
