Illustration for Ombudsmen Act 1975

The Governor-General can change Schedule 1 by Order in Council if a public service agency is abolished or its name is changed. You can find Schedule 1 by looking at the link to Schedule 1. If a new agency is created, the Governor-General can add its name to Schedule 1.

The Governor-General can also change the host or servicing department for an agency in Schedule 1. This can include adding, removing, or altering a reference to the host department in Part 1A of Schedule 1 or the servicing department in Part 1B of Schedule 1.

The Governor-General can make changes to Part 2 or Part 3 of Schedule 1 by adding or removing the name of a local organisation. An order under this section is secondary legislation, which means it has to follow certain publication requirements - you can learn more about this in Part 3 of the Legislation Act 2019.
