Health and Community Services Complaints Act 2004

The Commissioner's staff consists of—

Public Service employees assigned to work in the office of the Commissioner under this Act; and

any person appointed under subsection (3).

The Minister may, by notice in the Gazette—

exclude Public Service employees who are members of the Commissioner's staff from specified provisions of the Public Sector Act 2009; and

if the Minister thinks that certain provisions should apply to such employees instead of those excluded under paragraph (a)—determine that those provisions will apply, and such a notice will have effect according to its terms.

The Commissioner may, with the consent of the Minister, appoint staff for the purposes of this Act.

The terms and conditions of employment of a person appointed under subsection (3) will be determined by the Governor and such a person will not be a Public Service employee.

The Commissioner may, by agreement with the Minister responsible for an administrative unit of the Public Service, make use of the services of the staff, equipment or facilities of that administrative unit.
