Ministerial and Other Office Holder Staff
The Ministerial and Other Office Holder Staff Act 2010 provides a discrete framework for the employment of ministerial staff, staff of the Office of the Leader of the Opposition and staff of other non-government members of parliament (where determined necessary based on the composition of the Legislative Assembly).
The employer for these staff is the Director-General of DPC who employs staff on the recommendation of the Premier, the Leader of the Opposition, or relevant, member of parliament respectively.
During 2017–18 there were no staff employed under the Act to support a non- government member of parliament other than the Leader of the Opposition.
The Act covers the work performance and conduct of staff members through the inclusion of performance and personal conduct principles, ethics values and a specific provision that staff members are not empowered to direct public servants in their own right.
The Act provides that the Director-General of DPC may issue directives or guidelines about employment matters. In the preceding 12 months one directive was issued under the Act.
