Future Made in Australia (Guarantee of Origin Consequential Amendments and Transitional Provisions) 2024

# Future Made in Australia (Guarantee of Origin) Bill 2024 ## What it does This bill makes technical adjustments to existing Australian laws so they work properly with a new "Guarantee of Origin" scheme — essentially a system to verify and track that products (particularly energy and manufactured goods) are genuinely made in Australia. It updates three main laws: the Clean Energy Regulator Act, the National Greenhouse and Energy Reporting Act, and the Renewable Energy Act. ## Why it matters If you buy something labeled "Made in Australia" or use renewable energy, this bill helps ensure those claims are legitimate and verifiable. It's part of Australia's push to boost local manufacturing and clean energy by creating trustworthy proof of origin. ## Key details - The bill's main changes take effect the day after it gets Royal Assent, but only if the parent "Guarantee of Origin" law actually passes too (it's a safety clause) - Part of the changes won't kick in until 1 January of the next calendar year after the main law starts, giving businesses time to prepare - It specifically adds the Clean Energy Regulator to the agencies responsible for administering this guarantee system, expanding their duties beyond just carbon credits
