Table 2 - Senior executive mobility provisions
| Scope of senior executive movement | Applicable provision | Further information |
|---|---|---|
| Movement within a Public Service agency | Assignment (GSE Act s38) or Temporary assignment (GSE rule 11) | See Assignment to Role Guidelines GSE Act s38, GSE Rule 11, GSE Regulation clause 21 |
| Movement from one Public Service agency to another* | Assignment (GSE Act s38) or Temporary assignment (GSE rule 11) | See Assignment to Role Guidelines GSE Act s38, GSE Rule 11, GSE Regulation clause 21 |
| Movement from one government sector agency to another* | Transfer or secondment (GSE Act s64)* | See sections 2 and 3 of this document GSE Act s64, GSE Rules Part 6, GSE Regulation clause 22 |
| Movement between a government sector agency (including a public service agency) and a body outside of the NSW government sector | Secondment (GSE Act s66) | See section 4 of this document GSE Act s66 |
*GSE Act s38 and s64 both facilitate movement of senior executives between Public Service agencies. To support consistent application of the mobility provisions, the policy position is that movements of senior executives between Public Service agencies should be actioned as an assignment under GSE Act s38 or a temporary assignment under GSE rule 11 rather than a transfer or secondment under GSE Act s64.
