A Commissioner may resign from office by letter signed by the Commissioner and delivered to the Minister.

A resignation under subsection (1) takes effect—

on the date specified in the letter; or

if no date is specified in the letter—on the day the letter is received by the Minister.

The office of Commissioner becomes vacant if the Commissioner—

becomes bankrupt; or

is convicted in Victoria of an offence punishable on first conviction with imprisonment for a term of 12 months or more or is elsewhere convicted of an offence which, if committed in Victoria, would be so punishable.

The Governor in Council, on the recommendation of the Minister, may remove a Commissioner from office if the Commissioner—

becomes incapable of performing his or her duties; or

is negligent in the performance of those duties; or

engages in improper conduct; or

is convicted of an offence.
