Insurance Authority Act 2000, s 19(1): Appointment of appointed director and s 20(1): Term of appointment of appointed directors

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

Section 19 of the Insurance Authority Act 2000 provides that the Treasurer will appoint five persons to the Board of the Insurance Authority.  Ms Julie McKinnon, one of the appointed client members has resigned and Dr Penny Gregory has become ineligible for her position because of her resignation from the ACT Public Service.

A client member is specified in s19(2)(b) of the Insurance Authority Act 2000 as a person who represents the interests of entities whose risks are insured by the Authority.  By this instrument, the Treasurer appoints Ms Susan Marie Killion and Ms Susan Kathleen Ross as client members of the Board in place of the previous members.  Ms Killion as Executive Director, Policy and Planning, ACT Health, and Ms Ross as Executive Director , City Operations, Department of Urban Services, are eligible to be appointed to that role.

The appointments are to commence on the day of notification in the Legislation Register and cease on a date three years after the date of notification, in accordance with s20(1) of the Act.  

Because both Ms Killion and Ms Ross are ACT public servants, S.227(2)(a) of the Legislation Act excludes their appointments from the requirement for consultation with the Legislative Assembly. 

Authorised by the Treasurer
