242: Power of Registrar to delegate

You could also call this:

"The Registrar can pass on some of their tasks to other government workers."

Illustration for Incorporated Societies Act 2022

The Registrar can give some of their jobs to other public service employees. They can do this for some jobs or all of them, but not for choosing who to give jobs to. You can find out what a public service employee is by looking at the Public Service Act 2020. When the Registrar gives a job to someone else, they must write it down. The Registrar can also say how the job must be done and can take the job back at any time. If the Registrar gives a job to someone else, it does not mean the Registrar cannot do the job too. When this Act or its regulations talk about the Registrar, it also means the person the Registrar gave the job to.
