Community Services Act 2007

After an interim manager starts to carry out the manager’s function, the chief executive may, by notice—

extend the period of the appointment; or

vary the appointment in another way.

However, the chief executive must not vary the appointment to apply to other funding received by the funded entity.

The chief executive may extend the period of the appointment if the chief executive is satisfied the extension is reasonably necessary in all the circumstances.

The period of the appointment may be extended more than once.

However—

the period of an extension must not be more than 3 months; and

the total period of the initial appointment and any extension or extensions must not be more than 6 months.

The chief executive may vary the appointment in a way other than by extending the period of the appointment if the chief executive is satisfied the variation is appropriate, having regard to—

the matters stated in section 21; and

the operation of the funded entity since the appointment started.

If the appointment is varied under this section, the chief executive must ensure notice of the variation is given to the funded entity.
