Long Service Leave (Portable Schemes) Act 2009

The authority has the following functions:

administering the long service leave benefits schemes established under this Act;

making payments under this Act;

keeping the employers registers and workers registers for covered industries;

any other function given to the authority under this Act or another territory law.

Note A provision of a law that gives an entity (including a person) a function also gives the entity powers necessary and convenient to exercise the function (see Legislation Act, s 196 and dict, pt 1, def entity).

To remove any doubt, the authority may exercise its functions inside and outside the ACT, including in a foreign country.
