71: Appointments subject to review

You could also call this:

"Some public service jobs can be changed after a review, even if you've already been appointed"

Illustration for Public Service Act 2020

If you get a job in the public service under certain sections of the law, like sections 66 to 69, your appointment is not final straight away. You are appointed, but this can be changed after a review. The review happens according to clause 5 of Schedule 8.
