Structure of Instrument

Overview of structure

The Instrument is divided into 3 parts.  Expanded below, these parts are:

  • Instrument number 731;
  • Schedule A; and
  • Schedule B.

Instrument Number 731

The actual Instrument explains that the Secretary delegates certain powers (as noted in Schedule A) under section 1299 of the Social Security Act 1991, to the DVA officers shown in Schedule B.

More info: see Attachment A.

Schedule A

Schedule A is a spreadsheet that lists every relevant provision of the SSA, alongside the Office Categories that have had powers under that provision delegated to them.

More info: see Attachment D.

Schedule B

Schedule B is a document that lists which officers are included in each of the Office Categories.

More info: see Attachment B.

Selection of provisions

Provision selection

On first impressions, it may seem that there is no logic to the provisions of the SSA that have been selected to be delegated under the Instrument.  There are in fact a number of criteria that predetermine whether a provision requires delegating or not.

Criteria

Whether a provision of the SSA is delegated may be affected by one or all of the following.  Whether:

  • the Secretary of DSS is able to delegate the provision- some provisions are not able to be delegated (refer section 1299 SSA);
  • the provision operates under it's own force; or
  • the provision is just an information or setting up provision.

Currency of provisions

Instrument 731 generally delegates the same provisions to DVA staff that are delegated to Centrelink staff who administer age and wife pensions.  Prior to signature by the Secretary, the Instrument was reviewed for currency.  Any superfluous provisions detected were omitted from Instrument 731.  Generally, they were previously delegable provisions that had become superfluous due to ongoing changes to the SSA.

Noteworthy provisions

Introduction

Whilst there is no value in detailing every delegated provision in Instrument 731, there are some points worth noting.

Deeming

DVA: Under the VEA, certain high level DVA officers have been delegated the authority, by the Minister for Veterans' Affairs, to make specific exemptions relating to the income test deeming provisions.

DSS:  DSS Legal Services Branch has advised that the Minister for Social Security does not delegate any of her section 1084 SSA deeming exemption powers.

Office Category 2 delegations

Officers included in Office Category 2 have been specifically delegated the power to release protected information that is in the public interest, under paragraph 1314(1)(a) SSA.  OC 2 officers should take note of Attachment C.

Attachment: The DSS Secretary's β€œCertificate Under Paragraph 1314(1)(a)-Disclosure of Information in the Public Interest” is at Attachment C.

Minister's Guidelines: The scenarios outlined at Attachment C basically restate the Minister's Guidelines on this topic.  A copy of these guidelines will provided by DSS Legal Services Branch and will be held in the National Office, Executive Support Unit, Compensation and Support Division.

Office Categories

Definition

An Office Category is a category that lists by level, the officers with delegated authority in that category.  It also lists the area in which those delegated officers work.

Comparison to DVA

This differs to the DVA method of delegation, which is done by position number rather than by level

Work areas

To ensure that all relevant staff were delegated the authority they need, DSS included staff in both Income Support and Compensation areas in the office categories.  SA SO also have select staff in Health and Community Services included with Income Support and Compensation staff.


Instrument amendments required from time to time

Amendments

In the event that amendments are required to the Instrument, the Department of Social Security Legal Services Branch must be advised.

For example

In particular, if the name of the work areas noted in the Office Categories shown at Attachment B change, the Instrument must be amended to reflect this change.

SO Procedure

Step

Action

1
