### sec.515 Preservation of registrar’s rights if a public service officer
This section applies if the person appointed as the registrar was, immediately before the appointment, a public service officer.

If the person’s term of appointment as registrar ends or the person resigns—

for the remuneration payable to a public service officer on the classification level mentioned in subparagraph (ii) ; and
to perform duties appropriate to the classification level mentioned in subparagraph (ii) ; and
the person’s service as registrar is taken to be service as a public service officer for working out the person’s rights as a public service officer.
If, immediately before the appointment, the person was a member of the scheme under the Superannuation (State Public Sector) Act 1990 , the person continues to be eligible to be, and to be, a member of the scheme.
