Family Responsibilities Commission Act 2008

In considering whether to adjourn a conference, the commission must take into account the impact that the adjournment may have on the commission’s ability to deal in a timely way with the issues raised in the agency notice to which it relates.

However, if the commission is constituted under section 50A for a conference, it must adjourn the conference to obtain the commissioner’s endorsement if it proposes to make an income management decision.

If the commission adjourns a conference, it must—

give reasons for the adjournment; and

state any matters it requires a party to the conference to address during the adjournment.
