22D Modification of prerequisites for Norfolk Island Minister to take action

(1) This section applies if:

(a) an applied law or an adopted law is expressed (ignoring section 18B of the Norfolk Island Act) to make:

(i) a recommendation (however described) about a matter; or

(ii) an approval (however described) of a matter;

by a Minister or an authority established or appointed by or under an applied law, an adopted law or a law of Queensland a prerequisite for a person to exercise a function; and

(b) the Norfolk Island Minister has that function because of section 18B of the Norfolk Island Act.

(2) The Norfolk Island Minister may exercise the function without receiving or following the Minister’s or authority’s recommendation about the matter or approval of the matter.

(3) This section applies to a person in whom a power is vested, or to whom a power is delegated, under paragraph 18B(3)(a) or (b) of the Norfolk Island Act, in the same way that applies to the Norfolk Island Minister:

22E Norfolk Island Minister not required to interact with himself or herself

(1) The Norfolk Island Minister need not comply with a requirement that:

(a) is imposed on the Norfolk Island Minister by an applied law or an adopted law (as affected by section 18B of the Norfolk Island Act or otherwise); and

(b) because of section 18B of the Norfolk Island Act, is a requirement for the Norfolk Island Minister to do something in relation to the Norfolk Island Minister:

(i) before taking another action; or

(ii) in the process of taking another action; or

(iii) after taking another action.

Note: Some examples of a requirement to which this section applies are if an applied law or an adopted law (ignoring section 18B of the Norfolk Island Act) says:

(a) the Governor may do something on the advice of a Minister; or

(b) an authority must give the Minister notice of a decision or action the authority has taken.

(2) To avoid doubt, if the Norfolk Island Minister takes the other action, its validity is not affected merely because the Norfolk Island Minister did not or does not comply with the requirement.

22F Special rules relating to the Parliament

Requirements relating to the Parliament that need not be complied with

(1) A person or body need not comply with a requirement imposed by an applied law or an adopted law on the person or body to do either of the following:

(a) give (however described) a thing to the Parliament, a committee of the Parliament or an officer or member of the Parliament;

(b) act consistently (however described) with a resolution or recommendation of the Parliament.

Failure to comply with the requirement does not affect the validity of any act.

Note 1: Applied laws or adopted laws may use various verbs to express requirements to give something to the Parliament, a committee of the Parliament, or an officer or member of the Parliament. Some examples of such verbs are giving, furnishing, laying before, presenting to, tabling, notifying, advising and providing.

Note 2: Applied laws or adopted laws may express in various ways a requirement for a person or body to act consistently with a resolution or recommendation of the Parliament. For example, applied laws or adopted laws may refer to a person or body doing something in accordance with a resolution of the Parliament, on the recommendation of the Parliament or on an address from the Parliament.

Acts valid despite absence of action relating to the Parliament

(2) Despite an applied law or an adopted law providing for a thing to be done by or in relation to the Parliament:

(a) before a function can be exercised by an authority other than the Parliament; or

(b) in connection with the exercise of a function, by such an authority;

the function may be exercised by the authority even though that thing has not been done, or is not done, by or in relation to the Parliament.

7.4 Costs associated with obtaining criminal history reports under chapter 3, part 5, division 2 or 4, are to be met by the requesting entity.

7.5 Costs associated with screening for child‑related duties under chapter 3, part 5, division 3 of the Act may be met by the entity at the discretion of the chief executive.

8. Procedural fairness

8.1 Where a chief executive obtains information in connection with clause 9 (criminal history) or clause 11 (child‑related duties) of this directive, prior to making an adverse decision about the person’s suitability for employment, the chief executive must:

(a) provide the person a copy of the information obtained,

(b) invite the person to make written representations about the information obtained, including why the person believes the information obtained should not render them unsuitable for employment,

8.2 Where a chief executive obtains information in connection with clause 12 (serious disciplinary action) of this directive that may be adverse to the interests of the person’s employment as a public sector employee (adverse information), the chief executive must:

(a) provide the adverse information to the person

(b) invite the person to make submissions about the adverse information prior to the chief executive making a decision about whether the person is suitable to be employed

8.3 A reasonable timeframe under clause 8.1(c) and 8.2(c) is generally 14 days unless the nature and degree of the information necessitates a longer period.

9. Criminal history

9.1 Chapter 3, part 5, divisions 2 and 4 of the Act provide requirements and obligations in relation to criminal history checks.

9.2 A chief executive of a public sector entity may obtain a person’s criminal history in the following two circumstances:

(a) Assessment of a person’s suitability for employment in relation to relevant duties (chapter 3, part 5, division 2 of the Act)

Requirements

(i) the chief executive has determined a role includes a particular duty that is a relevant duty, in accordance with this directive, and

(ii) the chief executive engages, or proposes to engage, a person to perform relevant duties; or the chief executive changes, or proposes to change, the duties of a public sector employee to include a relevant duty.

(b) Further assessment of Support Staff (chapter 3, part 5, division 4 of the Act)

Requirements

(i) the chief executive of a public sector entity engages, proposes to engage, or has engaged, a person to perform a prescribed duty (which includes child‑related duties) in the entity, and

(ii) the chief executive has previously assessed the person’s suitability under section 55, and

(iii) the chief executive considers that a further assessment of the person may be needed to decide whether the person should be engaged to perform the prescribed duty.

9.4 A Where the requirements in clause 9.2 are met in the respective circumstances, the chief executive may ask the person for written consent for the chief executive to obtain the person’s criminal history.

9.5 If the criminal history check is being undertaken as part of pre‑employment screening, written consent can be sought at any time during the selection process for public sector roles but can only be conducted on the person(s) the chief executive proposes to employ.

9.6 Sections 53 and 67 of the Act relevantly provide how to manage the situation where a person does not consent or withdraws their consent for the chief executive to obtain the person’s criminal history.

9.7 If the person does provide their consent, sections 54 and 68 of the Act relevantly provide how a chief executive may obtain a report about the person’s criminal history.

Assessment of suitability based on criminal history

9.8 Upon receipt of a person’s criminal history report, a chief executive must assess the person’s suitability to perform the duties which require screening.

9.9 Such an assessment must be made on a case‑by‑case basis taking into account the particular facts of the matter. An assessment of a person’s suitability for employment must not be decided merely on the existence of a criminal history record. An assessment of suitability for employment based on criminal history must comply with the Act and this directive.

9.10 In making the assessment, the chief executive must consider:

(a) the nature of the offence/s and relevance to the nature of the duties to be performed

(b) any response provided to the chief executive by the person or the person’s representative in accordance with clause 8 of this directive, relating to procedural fairness

9.11 Further to clause 9.10 the chief executive may also consider:

(a) the seriousness and frequency of any relevant offence

(b) the amount of time elapsed since any relevant offence happened and the penalty imposed

(d) any relevant work history of the person

(e) any relevant risks contained in the entities risk management strategy under clause 11.9 of this directive, or another relevant risk management strategy.

Decision on suitability following criminal history screening

9.12 Where a chief executive is proposing to employ a person to perform relevant or prescribed duties, and the person is determined by the chief executive to be unsuitable to perform those duties as a result of their criminal history, the chief executive is not required to consider the person for employment to perform the duties that required screening.

9.13 Where a current public sector employee is determined by the chief executive to be unsuitable to perform relevant or prescribed duties as a result of criminal history, the chief executive must ensure the employee does not perform the duties that required screening.

9.14 If the employee mentioned in clause 9.13 is an existing public sector employee employed in the entity of the chief executive who requested the screening, the employee is to be placed in another role at their substantive classification level or rate of remuneration.

Change in criminal history

9.15 Sections 73 and 74 of the Act set out obligations for public sector employees to disclose any charge or conviction for indictable offences and for a prosecuting authority to disclose committals, convictions, and other information.

10. Determining relevant duties

10.1 It is the responsibility of the chief executive to determine that a particular duty is a relevant duty, however a duty is not a relevant duty if it is likely to involve child‑related duties or regulated employment.

10.2 Determining that a duty is a relevant duty must be based on the nature of the duty.

10.3 Considerations of the nature of the duty can include the type of work being performed. Examples may include:

(a) nature of interactions with customers, including customers that could be considered vulnerable

(b) degree to which the role is a leadership role within the entity

(d) access to security related information

(e) access to drugs and/or weapons

(f) degree of access and/or involvement in finance and procurement matters.

10.4 Where a duty has been identified as a relevant duty under section 50 of the Act and clause 10.2 of this directive, a chief executive may decide it is necessary to obtain the criminal history of a person in circumstances where employing a person with a criminal history would create a risk to the entity, including the work, service delivery, security, reputation and/or confidence in the integrity of the public sector.

10.5 A chief executive of an entity who determines their entity performs relevant duties must document the roles and duties deemed to be relevant duties in the entity. Roles can be documented in an entity’s policy, for example.

11. Child‑related duties

11.1 Chapter 3, part 5, division 3 of the Act provides requirements and obligations in relation to screening for child‑related duties.

11.2 Deciding that a duty is a child‑related duty is a decision for the chief executive.

11.3 In making a decision under clause 11.2, the duty is a child‑related duty if:

(a) the chief executive decides the duty:

(i) is to be performed at a place at which services are provided only or mainly to children; or

(ii) is to be performed in a role involving providing services only or mainly to children; or

(iii) involves contact with children that is of a type, or happens in a context, that may create an unacceptable level of risk for children; and

(b) the chief executive decides it is necessary to conduct child‑related employment screening.

11.4 Further to clause 11.3, in deciding that a duty is a child‑related duty, the chief executive may consider:

(a) the frequency of contact with children the duties have

(b) the level and degree of supervision of children

(d) whether the person is in a position of trust or authority

(e) whether the child is particularly vulnerable (for example, does the child have a disability, is the child in custody or care under the Child Protection Act 1999 (Qld)).

11.5 A chief executive of an entity performing child‑related duties must document the kinds of places, roles and duties deemed to be child‑related duties by the entity. Documentation can be through an entity’s policy, for example.

11.6 In accordance with the Act, where a chief executive decides a duty is a child related duty and it is necessary to conduct child‑related employment screening, the screening is to be undertaken in accordance with chapter 8 of the WWC (RM&S) Act.

11.7 Following screening for child‑related duties, if the person is unsuitable to perform child‑related duties in accordance with sections 58 to 62 of the Act, the chief executive must ensure the person does not perform, or does not continue to perform, child‑related duties.

11.8 If the person mentioned in clause 11.7 is an existing public sector employee employed in the entity of the chief executive who determined the screening was required, the employee is to be placed in another role at their substantive classification level or rate of remuneration.

Risk management strategies for child‑related duties

11.9 The chief executive of an entity that performs child‑related duties must:

(a) develop, implement and maintain a child and youth risk management strategy [1] that aims to identify potential risks of harm to children and young people and to implement strategies to minimise these risks

(b) review the risk management strategy on at least an annual basis

(d) ensure that the action taken to implement a risk management strategy is included in the entities annual report.

12. Serious disciplinary action

12.1 Where a chief executive is proposing to employ a person, or second a person, to the entity, who has been assessed as the person best suited to the position in accordance with the directive relating to recruitment and selection, the chief executive may decide that it is necessary to consider any serious disciplinary action taken against the person.

12.2 In making a decision to request a notice of serious disciplinary action, a chief executive may consider:

(a) the nature of the position to be undertaken

(b) any previous notices provided by the person regarding serious disciplinary action

(d) whether further disclosure will provide additional, relevant information

(e) the organisational or occupational values and code of conduct applying to the position

(f) the perception of public and client confidence in the performance of the position and the entity.

12.3 A decision made under clause 12.1 must be documented, including justification for the decision, even where a decision is made not to request a notice of serious disciplinary action.

12.4 The person must comply with a request to provide a notice stating the particulars of serious disciplinary action to the chief executive. At a minimum, the notice must include:

(a) information about discipline finding/s (including grounds for discipline) that gave rise to the serious disciplinary action

(b) details of any substantiated allegations that gave rise to the finding/s and ground for discipline

(d) details of any serious disciplinary action taken as a result of the finding/s made.

12.5 Where a chief executive decides to request a notice from a person regarding serious disciplinary action, the chief executive is responsible for determining a reasonable time for the notice to be submitted and the format and mode for the person to submit the notice.

Assessment of suitability based on serious disciplinary action

12.6 On receipt of a notice disclosing particulars of serious disciplinary action taken against a person, the chief executive must consider the person’s suitability for employment in or secondment to the public sector entity.

12.7 In determining the persons suitability for employment, the chief executive must consider:

(a) the nature of any serious disciplinary action taken against the person and its relevance to the nature of the duties to be performed

(b) any response provided to the chief executive by the person or the person’s representative in accordance with clause 8 of this directive, relating to procedural fairness

(d) whether the serious disciplinary action impacts on the person’s suitability for the role.

12.8 Further to clause 12.7, the chief executive may consider:

(a) the nature, seriousness and timeframe of the conduct related to the serious disciplinary action

(b) whether the notice identifies a pattern of behaviour

(c) any relevant risk contained in the entity’s risk management strategy under clause 11.9 of this directive or another relevant risk management strategy

(d) any relevant work history of the person

(e) any impacts on the duties and responsibilities of the role applied for.

13. Human rights

13.1 When a chief executive is making a decision not to employ or continue a person’s employment, due to the person being unsuitable for employment because of their criminal history record or notice of serious disciplinary action, the chief executive should ensure a human rights assessment of the decision is undertaken and documented appropriately in accordance with the HR Act.

Appeals

14. Appeals

14.1 A current public sector employee may be able to lodge a grievance about a chief executive’s decision not to employ them or to make changes to their employment arrangements as a result of an assessment of suitability for employment. The directive relating to individual employee grievances should be referenced for further information about employee grievances.

14.2 A current public sector employee who is aggrieved by a decision relating to their suitability for employment may be able to lodge a fair treatment appeal in the Queensland Industrial Relations Commission in accordance with chapter 3, part 10 of the Act.

14.3 Time limits for starting an appeal are provided for in the Industrial Relations Act 2016 (Qld) and the Commissioner directive relating to appeals.

Governance and transitional provisions

15. Records

15.1 Information obtained through screening activities must be managed in accordance with chapter 8, part 3 of the Act and other relevant legislation including the Information Privacy Act 2009 (Qld).

15.2 Any documents, notices, reports or other information obtained through screening activities must be retained and disposed of in accordance with the retention and disposal schedule approved by the relevant chief executive, or the Queensland Government General Retention and Disposal Schedule.

15.3 Once documents, notices, reports or other information are no longer required in accordance with clause 15.2, they must be destroyed in accordance with section 79 of the Act.

16. Transitional provisions

16.1 Sections 300 and 303 of the Act provide for transitional arrangements in relation to existing requirements to disclose previous history of serious disciplinary action and existing consents to obtain criminal history.
