Biosecurity Act 2025

The

Executive is satisfied that the person holds the appropriate qualifications and experience for the position.

An appointment under subsection (1) may be made subject to such conditions as the Chief Executive considers reasonable in the circumstances and are specified in the instrument of appointment (including a condition limiting the functions or powers of the authorised analyst).

The

Chief Executive may, at any time, revoke an appointment or vary a condition of an appointment.

If an appointment of a person as an authorised analyst is made by reference to an office held by the person—

the person ceases to be an authorised analyst if the person ceases to hold that office; and

any other person who holds that office, while the appointment is in effect, is an authorised analyst for the purposes of this Act while they hold that office.

The

Chief Executive may appoint an authorised officer as an authorised analyst and the authorised officer so appointed may perform the functions and exercise the powers of an authorised officer in addition to the functions and powers of an authorised analyst.
