Education and Training Reform Act 2006

Subject to this Act, the employment of a member of the Executive Class must be governed by a contract of employment between the member and the Secretary.

The contract must be in writing and be signed by or on behalf of the Secretary and by the member.

A contract of employment must specify the date on which it expires which must not be more than 5 years after the date on which it came into force.

Subject to this Act, a member of the Executive Class—

holds a position in the Executive Class while a contract of employment to which he or she is a party remains in force for that position; and

continues to hold that position if a subsequent contract of employment is entered into for that position by him or her and the Secretary.

A contract of employment may be varied at any time by a further contract between the parties.

The term of the contract may not be increased beyond 5 years.
