Overview
The Statutory Rules 1966, No. 123, under the Public Service Act 1922-1964, was enacted to amend the existing Public Service Regulations. This regulation, approved by the Governor-General in August 1966, was introduced to address the need for updated and specific classifications and salary scales within the public service, particularly for roles within the Department of Civil Aviation. The Public Service Board, acting on the authority conferred by the Public Service Act, made these amendments subject to the approval of the Governor-General. The regulation specifies new salary ranges and classifications for certain technical and supervising roles, reflecting changes in job responsibilities and the need to align public service remuneration with market standards.
Scope and Application
The Public Service Regulations 1966, made under the Public Service Act 1922-1964, apply to the Commonwealth public service, specifically to the salary scales and employment conditions of certain employees within the Department of Civil Aviation. These regulations define the remuneration and grade classifications for roles such as Technical Instructors and Technicians within the Diesel Training School and Electrical Technical School. The regulations also cover the salary scales for various grades of electrical technicians. This legislation has a national jurisdictional reach, applying across all Commonwealth public service entities. The regulations provide specific amendments to salary scales and do not include any exclusions or exemptions as per the provided text. The application of these regulations may be further extended or detailed through subordinate instruments, as authorised by the Public Service Act.
Key Provisions
The key provisions of this Statutory Rule (C2004L01301) amend the First Schedule to the Public Service Regulations under the Public Service Act 1922-1964. The most notable amendments involve the replacement and addition of various groups related to the Department of Civil Aviation, specifically within the Diesel Training School and Electrical Technical School, and the introduction of a new group for Technicians (Electrical) (Reg. 1). These changes primarily involve the reclassification and regrading of various positions within these departments, which are detailed in the new groups 349, 349a, and 359.
This Regulation imposes specific obligations on the Public Service Board and the entities it governs. Firstly, the Board must ensure that the amended regulations are implemented in accordance with the provisions outlined in the Schedule. This involves updating relevant documentation and ensuring that the new classifications and grades are correctly applied to positions within the Department of Civil Aviation. Additionally, the Department of Civil Aviation must ensure that its personnel are appropriately classified and compensated according to the new grades and classifications set out in the amended Schedule.
The Statutory Rule does not explicitly detail offences, penalties, or consequences for breaches of the amended regulations. However, non-compliance with Public Service Regulations generally may result in disciplinary actions, including possible termination of employment for public servants, and administrative or legal actions against the Public Service Board or related entities for failure to adhere to the regulations. The specific penalties would depend on the nature and severity of the breach and would be subject to the broader legislative framework governing public service employment and administration.
