For example, citing the Public Health and Wellbeing Amendment Act 2016 along with its assent date distinguishes it from later amendments or similarly named Acts. ## How to verify if an Act is current and any amendments To confirm whether an Act is still in force or has been amended, follow these steps: 1. Go to the Victorian Legislation website and search for the Act by its title or year. 2. Check the status indicators on the Act’s page. These will show if the Act is "current," "repealed," or "amended." 3. Review the "Versions" or "Amendments" section to see any changes made since the original assent date. 4. Look for consolidated versions of the Act, which incorporate all amendments to date. This process ensures that your reference reflects the latest legal framework, which is essential for accurate legal research and citation. ## Tips for navigating Victoria’s legislation websites for further research Victoria’s legislation websites are well organized but can be complex if you are unfamiliar with them.
