If you believe you have been adversely affected by a public sector agency not meeting the Public Sector Standards in Human Resource Management, you can make a claim.
Claims can be submitted for all standards (see below) except for the Discipline Standard where other legislation applies.
What are the standards?
Agencies must comply with 6 standards relating to different areas of human resources activity:
- Employment
- Performance Management
- Grievance Resolution
- Redeployment
- Termination
- Discipline.
Which agencies are subject to breach claim regulations?
The Public Sector Management (Breaches of Public Sector Standards) Regulations 2005 provide the rules for breach claims.
The regulations apply to all WA public sector agencies (including ministerial offices).
The regulations do not apply to broader government authorities such as government trading enterprises (for example, Synergy and port authorities), public universities and local governments.
