Overview

The Statutory Rules 1964 No. 118, known as the Regulations Under the Public Service Act 1922-1964, were enacted to amend existing Public Service Regulations. These regulations were introduced by the Public Service Board under the authority of the Public Service Act 1922-1964, with subsequent approval by the Governor-General. The objective of these amendments was to update and refine the salary structures and classifications of various public service positions across different departments and regions. This legislative instrument aimed to address the need for standardised and updated remuneration for public servants, ensuring fair and equitable compensation aligned with their roles and responsibilities. The regulations were subsequently approved by the Governor-General and came into effect on the third day of September 1964.

Scope and Application

The Statutory Rules 1964 No. 118, Regulations under the Public Service Act 1922-1964, pertain to the administration of public service regulations in the Commonwealth of Australia. These regulations were made by the Public Service Board and approved by the Governor-General. The regulations amend the existing First Schedule of the Public Service Regulations, which sets out the salaries and designation numbers for various public service positions. The amendments primarily involve changes to the designation numbers and particulars of salaries for certain positions within departments such as Labour and National Service, Customs and Excise, Repatriation, and the Australian Capital Territory Services. These regulations apply to public servants across Commonwealth jurisdictions and are subject to the overarching authority of the Public Service Act 1922-1964. The document does not explicitly mention any exclusions, exemptions, or thresholds, but it is understood that these regulations are integral to the structured management and remuneration of public service roles within the Commonwealth.

Key Provisions

The main sections of this statutory instrument involve amendments to the First Schedule of the Public Service Regulations. These amendments primarily concern the alteration of designation numbers and the associated salary particulars for various positions within the public service. Section 1 omits certain designation numbers and their corresponding particulars, while Section 2 replaces those omitted numbers with new designation numbers and updated salary particulars for specific roles. Section 3 introduces new designation numbers and particulars for additional positions, and Section 4 inserts new designation numbers and particulars for further roles. These amendments impose obligations on the relevant departments and entities to update their records and ensure that the new designation numbers and salary particulars are accurately reflected in their systems and documentation. This includes updating any relevant agreements, contracts, or other official documents that reference these positions and their associated salaries. Failure to comply with these amendments may result in civil or criminal consequences, although the specific penalties are not detailed within the text of this statutory instrument. However, breaches of regulations under the Public Service Act 1922-1964 could potentially lead to penalties as prescribed by the Act or other relevant legislation. These penalties may include fines, imprisonment, or other sanctions as determined by a court or relevant authority. The exact penalties would depend on the nature and severity of the breach, as well as any applicable laws and regulations.
