Part four

Management accountability

Corporate governance

Mr Jeff Lamond continued his appointment as Merit Protection Commissioner during the reporting period.

The Public Service Commissioner, as the head of the Australian Public Service Commission, is responsible for its corporate governance practices. The Merit Protection Commissioner is a member of the Commission Executive—a senior management group chaired by the Public Service Commissioner.

The Public Service Commissioner makes Commission employees available under section 49(2) of the Public Service Act to help the Merit Protection Commissioner fulfil his role. These employees are accountable to the Merit Protection Commissioner for performing functions he has authorised.

The Merit Protection Commissioner and the Public Service Commissioner have in place a memorandum of understanding for provision of staff necessary to help the Merit Protection Commissioner perform his functions. The Adviser to the Merit Protection Commissioner is the delegate of the Merit Protection Commissioner in the more substantive review matters.
