Plain English Summary

2/10 complexity

This instrument names the ACT Head of Service (as defined in the ACT Public Sector Management Act 1994) as the "principal officer" of the Australian Capital Territory for the Safety, Rehabilitation and Compensation Act 1988, effective 1 July 2016. It repeals the 1994 declaration that previously named the Commissioner for Public Administration. The change determines which ACT official is treated as the statutory contact and decision‑point under the SRC Act and therefore alters where ACT matters under that Act are directed.
