Inspector of Detention Services Act 2022

The inspector may delegate the inspector’s functions under this Act to an appropriately qualified officer of the ombudsman.

However—

the inspector may not delegate a function mentioned in section 8(1)(e), (f) or (g); and

the inspector may not delegate a function to an officer of the ombudsman to whom the ombudsman has delegated a function under the Ombudsman Act 2001.

For delegating functions to persons under subsection (1), the inspector must take into account the desirability of delegates—

having a range of knowledge, experience or skills relevant to the performance of the functions of the inspector; and

reflecting the social and cultural diversity of, and vulnerabilities within, the population of detainees in the State, including representing persons who identify as Aboriginal persons or Torres Strait Islanders.
