35When conduct relates to an agency

#### 35 When conduct relates to an agency Main definition (1) Conduct relates to an agency if the agency, or a public official belonging to the agency at the time of the conduct, engages in the conduct. Conduct by unincorporated subsidiary agencies (2) Despite subsection (1), if: (a) an agency (the subsidiary agency) is established by or under a law of the Commonwealth for the purpose of assisting, or performing functions connected with, another agency (the parent agency); and (b) the subsidiary agency is an unincorporated body that is a board, council, committee, sub‑committee or other body; conduct that would, apart from this subsection, relate to the subsidiary agency is instead taken, for the purposes of this Act, to relate to the parent agency. > Note: A machinery of government change (the abolition of an agency or a transfer of functions between agencies) may affect how disclosures are handled under this Act: see sections 73A to 73D.
