Regulation 81, made under the provisions of the Commonwealth Public Service Act 1902 is repealed, and a new Regulation in the following terms is made in lieu thereof:—
81. No leave on account of illness shall be granted with pay if the sickness or ill-health has been caused by the misconduct of the officer, to satisfy himself on which point the Chief Officer may send a special medical officer to attend on and examine such officer of his residence. A fee of £1 1s. shall be paid to the special medical officer for his attendance and report, and, if such report is, in the opinion of the Chief Officer, not favorable to the officer concerned, or if the officer be absent from his residence at the time of the medical officer’s visit, without, in the opinion of the Chief Officer, reasonable cause therefor, the amount of the fee as paid shall be deducted from any money which is or becomes payable to the said officer by the Government. The same practice may be followed where an officer is suspected of absenting himself from duty without sufficient cause.
