Management of Conflicts of Interest
Declaration of Pecuniary Interests
As soon as practicable after the commencement of terms of office, all GNB members will complete a disclosure of pecuniary interests’ declaration in the form set out in the NSW Government Guidelines for Boards and Committees. Members should provide updated declarations as appropriate.
The declaration form includes a privacy statement that outlines the requirements of the Privacy and Personal Information Protection Act 1998 regarding the collection and use of personal information collected by NSW Government agencies.
As required by the NSW Government Guidelines for Boards and Committees, completed declarations will be retained by the GNB and made available to the Minister.
Management of conflicts of interest
Members must disclose the nature of any direct or indirect pecuniary interest in relation to a matter to be considered at a GNB meeting that may raise a real, perceived, or actual conflict of interest in the performance of their duties as a member.
To identify and manage potential conflicts of interest in relation to matters considered at GNB meetings, all GNB meetings will include a standing agenda item in this regard.
A member who has disclosed a pecuniary interest in a matter to be considered at a GNB meeting may not be present during the GNB’s discussion or participate in decision-making about the matter unless the Minister or GNB determines otherwise.
The member who made the disclosure may not be present while the GNB considers the issue of whether they may be present during discussion or participate in decision-making about the matter.
Access of information about disclosures of interests
Details of any disclosures of interests made in relation to matters before the board will be recorded in a register kept for that purpose.
