Offence, immunity, and public service reorganisations - Reorganisations within public service

105: Reorganisations within public service

You could also call this:

"Changes to public service agencies: closing, renaming, or moving jobs"

Illustration for Public Service Act 2020

The Governor-General can make decisions about what happens when a public service agency is closed, renamed, or has its jobs moved to another agency. You can find more information about how this works in Schedule 9. If the Governor-General makes an order about this, it is called secondary legislation, which has its own rules for publication, as explained in Part 3 of the Legislation Act 2019.
