Illustration for Crown Entities Act 2004

You are appointed to a statutory entity by the responsible Minister or the Governor-General. The Minister appoints you if you are part of a Crown agent or autonomous Crown entity. The Governor-General appoints you if you are part of an independent Crown entity, but only if the Minister recommends you. You get a written notice when you are appointed, and a copy of this notice is sent to the entity. This notice tells you when your appointment starts and how long it lasts. The Minister makes sure the Gazette is notified about your appointment, including your name, the entity you are part of, when your appointment starts, and how long it lasts.
