Guardianship and Administration Act 2000

This section applies if a public service officer is appointed as the public advocate.

The person keeps all rights accrued or accruing to the person as a public service officer as if service as the public advocate were a continuation of service as a public service officer.

At the end of the person’s term of office or on resignation as the public advocate, the person’s service as the public advocate is taken to be service of a like nature in the public service for deciding the person’s rights as a public service officer.
