Illustration for Defence Act 1990

The Chief of Defence Force makes a procedure to review appointments in the Civil Staff. You can complain about an appointment if you are a member of the Civil Staff. The procedure must be approved by the Public Service Commission and follow their guidelines. The Chief of Defence Force puts this procedure in place for the Civil Staff. The Public Service Commission checks the procedure to make sure it is correct. The procedure does not apply to acting appointments, which are temporary positions.
