Overview

Statutory Rules 1975 No. 17, the Regulation under the Public Service Act 1922-1974, was enacted to amend the Public Service Regulations and specifically to include The University of New South Wales as a prescribed body for the purposes of section 72a of the Act. This regulation was introduced to address the need to update the list of prescribed bodies in alignment with the evolving administrative landscape and to ensure that certain educational institutions are recognised within the regulatory framework governing the Australian Public Service. The Public Service Board made this regulation under the authority conferred by the Public Service Act 1922-1974, subject to the approval of the Governor-General. This legislative instrument reflects the policy objective of maintaining an up-to-date and relevant regulatory framework that accommodates the inclusion of significant entities such as universities within the public service regulatory scope.

Scope and Application

This legislative instrument, Statutory Rules 1975 No. 17, constitutes a regulation made under the Public Service Act 1922-1974. It was enacted by the Public Service Board and subsequently approved by the Governor-General. The regulation amends the Public Service Regulations to include The University of New South Wales as a prescribed body for the purposes of section 72a of the Public Service Act. This addition aims to ensure that the University of New South Wales is recognised as an entity subject to the provisions and oversight established by the Act. The amendment is part of a broader series of adjustments to the Public Service Regulations, reflecting changes in the administrative landscape and the inclusion of additional bodies within the regulatory framework. The scope of the regulation is limited to the specified amendment and does not introduce new substantive provisions or alter the existing legislative framework beyond the inclusion of the University of New South Wales. The regulation applies to the Commonwealth of Australia and pertains specifically to the entities and bodies prescribed under the Public Service Act 1922-1974. By including The University of New South Wales, the regulation extends its reach to this particular institution, subjecting it to the regulatory and oversight mechanisms established by the Act. The amendment does not introduce any new exclusions, exemptions, or thresholds but rather integrates The University of New South Wales within the existing structure. The regulation is effective as of its publication and is part of a series of amendments that update and refine the Public Service Regulations.

Key Provisions

The Public Service Regulations 1975 (C2004L01498) amend Regulation 61a of the Public Service Regulations by adding The University of New South Wales to the list of prescribed bodies or organisations under section 72a of the Public Service Act 1922-1974. This inclusion implies that The University of New South Wales is now recognised as a body to which certain provisions of the Public Service Act may apply, similar to other prescribed entities such as the United Nations. The regulations impose specific obligations and requirements on The University of New South Wales, aligning its governance and operations with those stipulated for other prescribed bodies. This may include adherence to particular administrative practices, financial reporting standards, and compliance with public service policies. These obligations are designed to ensure consistency and effectiveness in how public service functions are carried out across different entities. In terms of consequences for non-compliance, while the specific Regulation itself does not detail offences or penalties, breaches of the Public Service Act 1922-1974 or its associated regulations could lead to various civil or criminal consequences. Depending on the nature and severity of the breach, penalties could range from fines to more serious legal actions, including potential disciplinary measures for individuals involved. The exact penalties would be determined based on the specific provisions of the Act that are contravened.
