Illustration for Films, Videos, and Publications Classification Act 1993

You work at the Classification Office. The Chief Censor can appoint staff to help with the office's work. The Chief Censor must follow certain rules when appointing staff, as outlined in the Crown Entities Act 2004. The Chief Censor can also choose some staff to be complaints officers, as stated in section 16. You might be wondering about superannuation. The Classification Office can help the Chief Censor and Deputy Chief Censor with superannuation or retiring allowances. They can pay into a retirement scheme, as defined in section 6(1) of the Financial Markets Conduct Act 2013. If you are already a contributor to the Government Superannuation Fund, you can keep being a contributor while you work at the Classification Office. The Classification Office does not have to pay income tax on its income, as stated in clause 16.
