Carers Recognition Act 2004

A member of the Council may at any time resign from office by notice in writing delivered to the Minister.

The Minister may terminate the appointment of a member —

if, in the opinion of the Minister, the member is unable, through illness or absence from the State, to perform the functions of the office; or

if, in the opinion of the Minister, the member misbehaves, neglects his or her duties, is incompetent or has ceased to be a person who would be eligible to be appointed to the office if it were to become vacant; or

if the member is an insolvent under administration, as that term is defined in the Corporations Act 2001 of the Commonwealth; or

if the member is absent, without leave and without reasonable excuse, from 3 consecutive meetings of the Council of which the member has had notice; or

for any other act or omission that in the opinion of the Minister may adversely affect the functioning of the Council.

If, before the term of office for which a person was appointed as a member of the Council expires, the person dies, resigns, or is removed from office, the office becomes vacant.
