#### 165 Termination of appointment
(1) The Minister may, after consulting Indigenous Business Australia, terminate the appointment of an Indigenous Business Australia Director because of misbehaviour or physical or mental incapacity.
(2) If an Indigenous Business Australia Director:
(a) is absent, except on leave granted under section 161, from 3 consecutive meetings of the Indigenous Business Australia Board; or
(b) becomes bankrupt, applies to take the benefit of any law for the relief of bankrupt or insolvent debtors, compounds with creditors or makes an assignment of remuneration for their benefit;
the Minister must terminate the Director’s appointment.
> Note: The appointment of an Indigenous Business Australia Director may also be terminated under section 30 of the Public Governance, Performance and Accountability Act 2013 (which deals with terminating the appointment of an accountable authority, or a member of an accountable authority, for contravening general duties of officials).
