Illustration for Social Workers Registration Act 2003

The Minister cannot tell the Social Workers Registration Board what to do when it comes to registering individual social workers. This rule is in place to ensure the Board has some independence. You can find more information about this in section 103 of the Crown Entities Act 2004.
