### sec.156 Repealed s 107 (Appointment)
This section applies to a person who, immediately before the commencement, held appointment as a community visitor under repealed section 107.
The person is taken to be appointed as a community visitor (child) until whichever of the following first happens—
the day the person is appointed as a community visitor (child) under section 109;
the end of 30 September 2014.
The terms of the person’s appointment as a community visitor under the former Act are taken to be the terms of the person’s appointment as a community visitor (child) under this Act, with necessary changes, until changed by the public guardian under this Act.
If the person is appointed as a community visitor (child) under section 109 before the end of 30 September 2014, no amount, whether by way of compensation, reimbursement or otherwise is payable by the State for or in connection with the ending of the person’s appointment as a community visitor under subsection (2)(a).
If the person is not appointed as a community visitor (child) under section 109 before the end of 30 September 2014, no amount, whether by way of compensation, reimbursement or otherwise is payable by the State for or in connection with the ending of the person’s appointment as a community visitor under subsection (2)(b), other than as expressly provided for under the person’s terms of appointment or the Industrial Relations Act 1999 .
For the purpose of working out the person’s entitlements under the Industrial Relations Act 1999 , employment by the commissioner and employment by the public guardian are taken to be employment by the same employer.
A notice under the Industrial Relations Act 1999 given by a person holding appointment as a community visitor under repealed section 107 immediately before the commencement to the commissioner as the person’s employer is taken to have been given to the public guardian.
If, under the person’s instrument of appointment as a community visitor, a decision about an entitlement was required to be made by the commissioner or assistant commissioner, the decision must now be made by the public guardian.
