Plain English Summary

1/10 complexity

This regulation preserves the higher Secretary (Permanent Head) salary for a specific public servant who was Secretary of the Department of Housing on 29 November 1973 and later appointed as a full‑time member of the Grants Commission. It applies to that one identifiable individual to prevent a pay reduction on transfer, reflecting the common salary‑protection practice for senior Australian Public Service officers moving to statutory roles.
