Who builds this, and what it will not claim

PGPA Defence Delivery Agency Checker is published by The Art of Service. It exists because the instrument is short but its consequences are not, and the people who have to act on it are not the people who read the Federal Register for pleasure. The site states each duty in our own words, names the party it binds, lists the evidence a reviewer asks for and states the date from the instrument.

What record it reads

The record is read from the authorised version of F2026L01074, its explanatory statement, the PGPA Act 2013 and the PGPA Rule 2014 Compilation No. 64. The record is read from the PDF registered on 18 August 2026. The amending instrument is recorded as four requirement controls in the compliance library, and the Rule is read at Compilation No. 64 with 60 controls across 8 parts.

Who it is for

The company secretary, governance manager or accountable authority support officer standing up the DDA before 1 July 2027, and the consultant or portfolio officer who needs a citable register rather than a summary. It is written for someone who has to hand an answer to a board, an auditor or a portfolio minister.

Byline

Gerard Blokdyk, founder of The Art of Service. Contact support@theartofservice.com. The Art of Service Pty Ltd, theartofservice.com. The interpretations and the evidence lists are the publisher reading, bylined here. We do not name a reviewer we have not engaged.

What the site does not do

It does not certify, audit, give legal advice or replace an assessor. It does not reproduce the instrument text. It does not claim that the start date cannot change, only that it is stated in section 2. It does not promise that an entity will comply.

Change and repeal

The amending instrument is repealed on 2 July 2027 under Legislation Act 2003 section 48A, and clause 8 continues in the PGPA Rule. A later compilation or a later instrument could change the text or the date. The site does not treat the record as final; the record date is visible and the change watch checks the register.

Independence

This is an independent reference. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by or approved by the Department of Finance, the Department of Defence, the Australian Defence Force, the Federal Register of Legislation or the Office of Parliamentary Counsel.
