South Australian Skills Act 2008

The South Australian Skills Commission is established.

The South Australian Skills Commission is responsible to the

Commissioner for the performance of its functions (and, to avoid doubt, the

Commissioner is not bound by the recommendations of the

Commission).

The Commission is subject to direction by the Minister but—

the Commission cannot be directed to make a particular finding or recommendation; and

the Minister must, within 3 sitting days after giving a direction, cause a copy of the direction to be laid before both Houses of

Parliament; and

a direction must be published in the annual report of the

Commission relating to the period in which the direction was given.

The Commission consists of—

the Commissioner (ex officio); and

up to 10 persons appointed by the Minister who, in the

Minister's opinion, together have the abilities and experience required for the effective performance of the Commission's functions.

The Minister appoint a suitable person to be the deputy of a member and a person so appointed may act as a member of the Commission in the member's absence.
