3 Policies and practices

(1) An FMA Agency must have employment policies and practices which support Commonwealth employees engaged in the agency participating in the Australian Civilian Corps, including seeking acceptance onto the ACC Register. (2) An FMA Agency may determine its own approach to the employment practices mentioned in subclause (1), provided they remain consistent with the broader objective to support the recruitment and deployment of Australian Civilian Corps employees.

Note: This clause does not apply to any agency that is not an FMA Agency. However, in the event that any APS employee engaged in such an agency is required to attend compulsory ACC training or is identified as suitable for ACC deployment, the agency would be subject to the same requirements as those applicable to FMA Agencies in relation to release and return under clauses 4 to 6.
