CAR 41 States
Maintenance schedule and maintenance instructions
(1) The holder of the certificate of registration for a class B aircraft must
ensure that all maintenance required to be carried out on the aircraft
(including any aircraft components from time to time included in or
fitted to the aircraft) by the aircraft’s maintenance schedule is carried
out when required by that schedule.
Penalty: 50 penalty units.
(2) A person must not use a class B aircraft in an operation if there is not a
maintenance schedule for the aircraft that includes provision for the
maintenance of all aircraft components from time to time included in,
or fitted to, the aircraft.
Penalty: 50 penalty units.

This is not a new rule, You have to comply with CAR 41 even if you are using Schedule 5 for the maintenance schedule, meaning in addition to schedule 5 you should be changing and maintaining items that the manufacturer lists in the aircraft maintenance schedule, if the manufacturer says a paticular item like a vacuum pump must be changed every 500Hrs you have to follow that. I does get confusing with an engine where the manufacturers (airframe) maintenance schedule will tell you to look at the engine manufacturers recomended TBO for the engine life limit, then you have AD/ENG/4 telling you otherwise, but the manufacturers life is RECOMENDED, once you go beyond that you are on your own so to say.
