Appointment of Auditor-General
24 Appointment of Auditor-General
There will be an Auditor‑General.
The Auditor‑General will be appointed by the Governor for an initial term of 7 years.
A person appointed to be the Auditor-General is, at the end of a term of appointment, eligible for reappointment but cannot hold office for terms (including any period acting in the office of Auditor-General) that exceed 10 years in total.
The conditions of office of the Auditor‑General will, subject to this Act, be determined by the Governor.
The salary and allowances of the Auditor‑General will be determined by the Remuneration Tribunal and will be paid from the Consolidated
Account which is appropriated for that purpose to the necessary extent.
The conditions of office of the Auditor‑General must not be varied while the Auditor‑General is in office so as to become less favourable to the Auditor‑General.
The Auditor‑General is not subject to the direction of any person as to—
the manner in which functions are carried out or powers are exercised by the Auditor‑General under this Act; or
the priority that he or she gives to a particular matter in carrying out functions under this Act.
