Source of payment
45S Source of payment
(1) The benefits payable under the Scheme to, or in relation to, a member or former member are to be paid out of the Territory's public account (which is appropriated to the necessary extent).
(2) A public authority by which a member was employed for the whole, or any part, of the period of the member's membership of the Scheme is liable to reimburse the Territory for a fair proportion (to be determined by the Minister) of the amount paid from the public account to, or in relation to, the member or former member.
A public authority must, if the Minister requires:
(a) enter into an arrangement with the Territory for contributing, on a basis the Minister considers fair to the Territory, to the cost of paying benefits under the Scheme to, or in relation to, employees or former employees of the public authority; and
(b) make payments to the Territory in accordance with the arrangement.
(4) The Minister may exempt a public authority from a liability under subsection (2).
