Australian Small Business and Family Enterprise Ombudsman Act 2015

Before starting to hold office, the Ombudsman must give to the Minister a written statement of any material personal interest that the Ombudsman has that relates to the functions of the Ombudsman.

The Ombudsman, once appointed, must also disclose interests under section 29 of the Public Governance, Performance and Accountability Act 2013.

A disclosure by the Ombudsman under section 29 of the Public Governance, Performance and Accountability Act 2013 (which deals with the duty to disclose interests) must be made to the Minister.

Subsection (2) applies in addition to any rules made for the purposes of that section.

For the purposes of this Act and the Public Governance, Performance and Accountability Act 2013, the Ombudsman is taken not to have complied with section 29 of that Act if the Ombudsman does not comply with subsection (2) of this section.
