Government Sector Employment Act 2013

Persons may be employed in the Public Service to enable the Commissioner to exercise his or her functions. Those persons may be referred to as the staff of the Commissioner or as employees of the Public Service agency in which they are employed.

The Commissioner may delegate the exercise of any function of the Commissioner (other than this power of delegation) to—

the head of any government sector agency or an employee of any government sector agency, or

any person, or any class of persons, authorised for the purposes of this section by the regulations.

The Commissioner must arrange for information about the Commissioner’s functions and the work of the Commissioner to be published on a NSW Government website.

The government sector employment rules may deal with any requirement under this Act for the approval or concurrence of the Commissioner, or for consultation with the Commissioner, and may provide for the circumstances in which the approval, concurrence or consultation is not required.

The Commissioner is, to the extent that it is reasonable and practicable to do so, to remove any personal information from any report or other document prepared by the Commissioner under this Part that is, or is to be, publicly available. In this subsection, personal information means information about an individual whose identity is apparent, or can reasonably be ascertained, from the information.

The regulations may make provision with respect to the exercise of the functions of the Commissioner.
