You could also call this:

"The Director-General chooses suitable people to check and review biosecurity work."

The Director-General can appoint auditors under this Act. You need to know that the Director-General can only choose people with the right experience and qualifications for the job. Auditors can be people employed under the Public Service Act 2020 or by a regional council, but they don't have to be. The Director-General has to pick auditors who are good at their job and have the right skills. When the Director-General appoints auditors, they are looking for people who can do the job well.
