Industrial Relations Act 1996

On the commencement day, the office of Chief Commissioner is abolished and replaced with the office of President of the Commission.

A person who, immediately before the commencement day, held office as Chief Commissioner is taken to have been appointed as a Commissioner for the remainder of the person’s term of appointment and is to be known as the Senior Commissioner.

The person appointed under subclause (2) continues to be entitled to the same remuneration as the person received as Chief Commissioner immediately before the commencement day until the time the remuneration of a Commissioner exceeds that remuneration.

Anything done by the Chief Commissioner that, immediately before the commencement day, had effect under this Act continues to have effect as if it had been done by the President of the Commission.

To avoid doubt, this clause has effect despite the following—

this Act, Schedule 2, clause 10,

the Judicial Officers Act 1986, Parts 7 and 8.
