Commonwealth legislation
This Act has been repealed and is no longer in force. It is retained for historical reference.
These regulations set pay, allowances and employment conditions for staff of the Meat Export Control Board. They prescribe graded salary rates (varying by role, age and gender), twice‑yearly cost‑of‑living adjustments tied to the retail price index, and travel expense rules that differ by location, duration and marital status (with separate overseas rates). Working conditions generally mirror Commonwealth public servants, and practical administrative rules (cheque signatures, overseas delegation, entertainment allowances) are included.
