Performance of functions by non‐government entities
14H Performance of functions by non‐government entities
The Service Victoria CEO and a non‑government entity may agree in writing for the non‑government entity to perform all or part of a function that the Service Victoria CEO may perform under this Act or any other law, other than a function of the Service Victoria CEO set out in section 15(b), (d) or (g).
Without limiting subsection (1), an agreement under that subsection may provide for the following—
fees or charges payable by the non‑government entity for services provided to the non-government entity for the purposes of enabling it to perform the relevant function;
arrangements for the joint performance of the relevant function by the non‑government entity and the Service Victoria CEO;
the performance by the non‑government entity of functions that are ancillary to the relevant function.
On the coming into force of an agreement under subsection (1), either the Service Victoria CEO or the non-government entity or both (as appropriate) may perform the relevant function for or on behalf of a relevant service agency or the Service Victoria CEO (as appropriate).
Subsection (3) applies despite anything to the contrary in the law (if any) that confers the relevant function on the service agency.
In this section—
relevant function means a function, or part of a function, that is the subject of an agreement under subsection (1).
