Independent Competition and Regulatory Commission Act 1997

The director-general must appoint a public servant as the Chief Executive Officer of the commission.

For the making of appointments (including acting appointments), see the Legislation Act, pt 19.3.

In particular, an appointment may be made by naming a person or nominating the occupant of a position (see s 207).

However, the director-general must not appoint the chief executive officer unless the director-general has consulted the commission about the proposed appointment.
