Administrative staff at overseas posts are able to help with enquiries about overseas conditions of service. |
|
1. |
Decision-makers on overseas conditions act on behalf of the CDF (in relation to ADF members) and the Secretary (in relation to APS employees in Defence). These powers, and the persons who are authorised to make decisions on them, are shown throughout Chapters 12 to 17. |
|
2. |
For most overseas conditions, the authorised persons are the same for the ADF as for the APS. |
|
3. |
The instruments of authorisation made by the CDF and Secretary are included in front of Chapter 1 at the beginning of the Manual. See: |
|
4. |
Guidance for decision-makers on how to make decisions on conditions of service on behalf of the CDF and Secretary is also included in PACMATE Part 5 at the beginning of the Manual. See: PACMATE Part 5, Decision Makers Guide on Defence Pay and Conditions |
|
5. |
A person who has been authorised to act for the CDF or Secretary is only acting on behalf of the Secretary or CDF. They do not exercise the powers in their own right. The effect of this is that a decision by an authorised person is in effect a decision by the CDF or Secretary. |
|
6. |
It is important that any necessary help is sought before the decision is made. Advice is available from these people. |
