Section 79E of the Long Service Leave (Portable Schemes) Act 2009 (the Act) establishes the Governing Board. Section 79F of the Act establishes the appointment of members to the Governing Board.

This appointment has been approved by the Minister and the Standing Committee on Education, Employment and Youth Affairs and has been consulted in accordance with section 228 (consultation with appropriate Assembly committee) of the Legislation Act.

Section 78 of the Financial Management Act 1996 provides that an appointment of a member must be for no longer than three years, unless the establishing Act allows for a longer period. While section 79F (5) of the Act provides for terms up to 5 years, Anne McGregor’s appointment is for four years.
