Promotions

Promotions under the Public SectorManagement Act 1994

The ‘date of notification’ of a promotion is thedate of publication of the Gazette in which it isnotified. This appears in a box towards the frontof the Gazette . This date is used to calculate the‘date of effect’ and ‘eligibility for salary onpromotion’ and to determine when the time forlodging an appeal or requesting a reviewcommences.

A. APPEALSAll promotions made under section 83 of thePublic Sector Management Act 1994 are subjectto appeal except:* ‘non-appealable promotions’ which generally

are promotions to classifications where themaximum salary of the position is equal toor greater than the minimum salary of aSenior Officer Grade C (these should beidentified with a dagger symbol (†) in the‘Promotions’ section of the Gazette );

* promotions made in accordance with therecommendation of a Joint SelectionCommittee (JSC) established under section88 of the Act, or the unanimousrecommendation of a JSC established undersection 89 of the Act; or

* promotions made as a result of officerspassing certain exams or completingcertain training, as defined in section 97 or98 of the Act.

As a general rule, you may appeal if you werean applicant for promotion to an advertisedposition that was not ‘non-appealable’.

YOU MAY ALSO APPEAL IF:* the vacancy that has been filled was not

advertised and you are eligible forpromotion to that position (generallyidentified by a footnote in the Gazette ); or

* you are an excess officer, the advertisedposition is at a classification equivalent toor lower than your own and you were anapplicant for that position; or

• you applied for the position and you are anofficer or former officer of the ACTPS orAPS and you are engaged in eligible publicemployment under the officers’ mobilityprovisions in section 115 of the Act, or youare still covered by the provisions of therepealed Officers’ Rights Declaration Act.However, you may only appeal if theposition applied for is higher than the lastposition you held in the ACTPS or APS.

YOU CAN NOT APPEAL WHEN:* the position is filled from outside the ACTPS,

i.e. an appointment (including filling theposition by appointing a temporaryemployee);

* the position is filled by the transfer of anofficer already at that or a higher level;* you are not a permanent officer of the ACTPS;or* you filling the position would not constitute apromotion (except in the case of excessofficers).

Unless you are an excess officer, you can onlyappeal if the person selected by the departmentwould fill the position on promotion and, ifsuccessful, you would fill the position onpromotion.If you are a promotee, where your promotion isone of a number of promotions at the same levelmade in a selection exercise, and you feelsomeone may lodge an appeal against yourpromotion, you may appeal against all or any ofthe other promotees. These appeals areusually called ’protective appeals’ , and aretreated the same as other appeals. You muststill make sure you are eligible to appeal, andthat you can show that you are more efficientthan those against whom you have appealed.For further information on eligibility to appeal,contact your departmental Personnel Unit or theOffice of the Merit Protection Commissioner(MPC) at the address listed below.

ADVICE TO POTENTIAL APPELLANTSThe following procedures will apply to allappeals unless other appeal procedures are inplace as part of a Department’s EnterpriseBargaining Agreement. Potential appellantsshould check with the relevant Personnel Unitas to the appeal procedures applying in thatparticular Department.



1389

GROUND OF APPEALThe only ground of appeal is greater efficiency .

EFFICIENCYThe Promotion Appeal Committee (PAC) isrequired to determine the relative efficiency ofthe parties to an appeal. The definition ofefficiency is set out in subsection 85 of thePSMA, which states:

(2) For the purpose of forming an opinion as tothe most efficient of the officers concerned,the Committee shall have regard to:(a) the abilities, qualifications, experience,

standard of work performance andpersonal qualities of each officer, to theextent that the Committee considers thatthose matters are relevant to theperformance of the duties of the office; and

(b) if and only if the Chief Executive who madethe promotion has indicated that, for thepurpose of forming an opinion undersection 83, the Chief Executive had regardto the potential of officers for furthercareer developments in the Service, or theability of officers to perform the duties ofother offices in the Department of thesame or equal classification-that matter.

(3) A reference in subsection (2) to theabilities, qualifications, experience,standard of work performance andpersonal qualities, potential for furthercareer development in the Service, orability to perform the duties of otheroffices in a Department is, in relation to anofficer who is a returned soldier or who isor has been absent on specified defenceservice, a reference to the abilities,qualifications, experience, standard ofwork performance, personal qualities,potential for future career development inthe Service, or ability to perform the dutiesof the offices concerned that, in theopinion of the Committee, the officer wouldhave had but for the absence of the officeron active service or on specified defenceservice.

Normally, the selection criteria used by thedepartment in the selection and by the PAC inthe appeal will incorporate the mattersreferred to in the definition of efficiency to theextent that they are relevant to the duties ofthe job.

ADVICE TO POTENTIAL APPELLANTS -PROMOTIONS AND TEMPORARYPERFORMANCEThe following advice applies to appeals againstboth promotions and temporary performancedirections. Before lodging an appeal, youshould consider carefully whether you candemonstrate that you are more efficient at doingthe job than the person(s) you are appealingagainst. To help you determine whether you candemonstrate your greater efficiency, it isimportant that you obtain from the promotingdepartment:* available written reports and oral feedback

explaining the selection, especially thecomparison between you and the promotee.

The PAC will consider the appeal only on thebasis of who is the more efficient . PACs shouldnot be used as a forum to air grievances abouthow a selection was conducted. If you decide

to appeal, you must comply with the followinginstructions.

FORM OF APPEALThe most convenient form of appeal is by use ofForm PAC4, available through your PersonnelUnit. Alternatively you may write a letter,detailing the following:• Date of Gazette /notice;• Name of promotee/selectee;• Department in which promotion/selection

made;• Your full name;• Your private postal address, as well as

your work address and telephone number;• Classification and salary scale of your

substantive (i.e. your permanent) ACTPSposition (and if you are a former officer oran APS officer or someone working for astatutory authority, details of your formerACTPS position, the current position youhold in the APS or the statutory authority);

• Office/branch and department or agency;and

• AGS number.Where you intend to appeal against more thanone promotion/selection, a separate appealshould be lodged against each one, unless allthe promotions have been notified in the oneGazette , and the positions are all of the sameclassification and all in the same state,department and branch, in which case, oneletter of appeal listing all promotees appealedagainst will be accepted.

WHEN TO LODGE APPEALSAppeals must be received by the Office of theMerit Protection Commission (MPC) at theaddress below, by 4.51 p.m. on the 14th dayafter the date of notification in the Gazette .(In the case of temporary performance appeals,the 14 day deadlines relates to the date onwhich the direction was first notified in thedepartment.)

Appeals not lodged by the prescribed timecannot be accepted . Delays can occur indepartmental mail systems, and you areadvised to use Australia Post, facsimile, orbetter still, hand delivery if possible, to be sureof meeting the deadline.Hearing or speech impaired staff can makeinquiries via the TTY telephone located inMPC’s Melbourne office, on 1800 812 578 (freecall) from anywhere in Australia, but only fromanother TTY phone. These must be clearlymarked as “ACTPS appeal – for transfer to theMPC Office in Canberra”.

WHERE TO LODGE APPEALSMerit Protection Commissioner, Level 4, Core 1,Wing 2, Edmund Barton Building corner of KingsAvenue and Blackall St, Barton ACT 2600. Tel.(02) 6272 3254, fax (02) 6272 3026.

ADVICE TO PROMOTEES AND APPELLANTSAll parties to an appeal are required to submitwritten statements supporting their case, to theMPC, within fourteen (14) days of the close ofthe appeal period, or by such other date as theMPC may determine.If a party fails to provide a statement, MPC staffwill remind the party or department of this



1390

requirement, and may, on request and inexceptional circumstances grant an extensionof time. However, the PAC has the discretion todetermine the case even if the statement is notprovided.Your statement in support of your case is asignificant document in PAC deliberations, andis used to decide whether personal hearingswill be necessary. If you fail to make areasonable case for greater efficiency in yourstatement, you may find that the PAC proceedsto determine your case without interviews.As a party to an appeal, you are entitled toaccess to:(i) the departmental statement (which consists

of all material sent to the PAC by thepromoting department); and

(ii) the written material submitted by otherparties to the appeal which addresses theirclaims to superior efficiency.

However, you are not entitled to access to theprivate contact details supplied by any otherparty as a part of their statement.The departmental statement will be available foryou to see in the promoting department,generally at least seven (7) days before the datescheduled for the appeal hearing. It is up to youto seek access, but the department shouldadvise you (and the other parties) when andwhere the statement is available for viewing.The statements of parties are available at theMPC generally at least seven (7) days prior tothe hearing date, and you should telephone theMPC to make an appointment to view them,once you have submitted your own statement.The responsibility for seeking access rests witheach party, and PAC hearings will not bedeferred if you fail to exercise your right ofaccess. If for very good reason (e.g.geographical distance, illness etc.) you areunable to visit the MPC office, alternativeaccess arrangements may be possible, and youshould discuss this with MPC staff. You maytake notes, but may not photocopy or retainmaterial.After reading the statements of the other parties,you may wish to submit a supplementarystatement in support of your claims. Allsupplementary material (including additionalreferee reports) must reach the MPCat least two (2) working days before anyscheduled hearing. It is preferable to submit asupplementary statement (after viewing thestatements of other parties) rather than to delayyour initial statement, but bear in mind the needto provide access for all parties to allstatements prior to any hearing. Unreasonablylate supplementary statements may not beaccepted.

CONTENT OF STATEMENTSYou should provide four copies of yourstatement, which should contain the following:(a) at the top:

(i) PAC reference number;(ii) full name;(iii) both your private and work address andtelephone number. If you do not wish thisinformation to be available to other parties itshould be included with your statement in aseverable sheet which clearly indicates thatit is to be kept confidential;(iv) date of permanent appointment; and

(v) educational and other qualifications.(b) the names and telephone numbers of your

supervisor and any other referee(s) (seesection below for further advice on whoshould be nominated);

(c) a brief outline of your employment history;(d) a statement of claims to the positionaddressing the selection criteria;(e) any views you may have about thedepartmental assessment of you;and most importantly:(f) reasons for your claim that you are moreefficient than the other party or parties.

If you feel it is necessary to make anyunfavourable comments about a party to theappeal, you should include these comments inyour written statement. Parties to an appealmust have an opportunity to comment on anyunfavourable observations.You should also note that your statement shouldnot include material that breaches privacyrequirements or any similar legislation.

PAC PROCEDURESThe PAC does not have to interview all or any ofthe parties to an appeal. Therefore, you shouldnot rely on being granted an interview as themain opportunity to make your case. Youshould instead state your case as fully and asopenly as possible in your written statement. Ifa PAC decides that parties are to beinterviewed, you will be advised as early aspossible of the date and place, usually throughthe recruitment/personnel area of yourdepartment.Once you have lodged an appeal or are awarean appeal has been lodged against yourpromotions, you will be considered available forinterview at any time. Wherever possible, atleast seven-(7) days notice of the interview willbe given. As a general rule the PAC will expectyou to attend for any interview at the time itdetermines, and will not delay or reschedulehearings without good reason.The PAC will determine its proceduresaccording to the circumstances of the casebefore it, but will normally consider thefollowing:

(a) the departmental statement;(b) the written statements of the parties;(c) the cases put to the PAC by the partiesat any oral hearing or under anyalternative arrangements;(d) an assessment of the parties at anyhearing before the Committee;(e) relevant views expressed bysupervisors, referees or other personscontacted: and(f) any other written information about a

party requested by the MPC from thepromoting/selecting department underthe Merit Protection (AustralianGovernment Employees) regulations.

At the hearing, you may be asked to clarifypoints from your statement, to respond toquestions which test you against therequirements of the position, and to summarisewhy you are the more efficient officer. Youshould use this opportunity to elaborate on theclaims in your written statement as to why youbelieve you are more efficient.



1391

Promotees and selectees must be prepared todiscuss their own efficiency compared with thatof the appellant(s). It is not enough to takerefuge in the fact that the department chose youin the selection exercise.If the PAC becomes aware of new materialwhich relates to your work, which issignificantly adverse to you, and could affectyour success in the appeal adversely, the PACwill inform you of the substance of the materialand give you the chance to comment.If the PAC decides that it needs moreinformation, it may also contact the department,any of the parties to the appeal, or referees orsupervisors of the parties.

SUPERVISORS/REFEREESAs mentioned above, each PAC is free todetermine its own procedures, and may or maynot feel a need to consult with supervisors,referees, or other people. If you wish the PAC tohave regard to the comments of a particularperson, it is in your best interests to obtainsuch comments in writing and submit them withyour statement. You should also speak toanyone you intend to nominate as a referee, tofind out what they will say about you ifcontacted, and how they rate you against theother party/parties if they know them.The most appropriate person to nominate asyour referee is your current supervisor,provided that he/she has supervised you for areasonable period. Past supervisors are alsoappropriate if their knowledge of you isreasonably recent. The PAC will also beparticularly interested in the views of refereeswho can give well-founded commentscomparing two or more of the parties. You arenot limited to nominating your supervisors forreferee comments (and indeed you maynominate anyone you wish to) but supervisor’sopinions are usually perceived as most usefulby PACs.Additional information on lodging appeals iscontained in the MPRA brochure, Appealsagainst promotions and temporary performancedirections, which you should be able to obtainfrom your Personnel section.B. REVIEW OF NON-APPEALABLEPROMOTIONS UNDER SECTION 87An unsuccessful applicant for a non-appealablepromotion who believes that the promotionshould not stand because there was:(a) patronage, favouritism or unlawful

discrimination in the making of thepromotion (prescribed by section 8 of thePSMA); and/or

(b) a serious defect in the selection process (abreach of section 65 of the PSMA),may apply to the MPC for a review of thatpromotion.A request for review must be made in writing tothe Director, MPC, at the address given belowand must be received by the end of the 13th dayafter the day on which the promotion appearedin the Gazette .An applicant must provide the following details:

* full name and AGS number;* classification, position number andlocation of the promotion in question;* date and number of the Gazette in whichthe promotion was notified;

* the basis on which the request is madewith supporting information.

It is important to provide details to support yourclaim of patronage, favouritism, unlawfuldiscrimination and/or serious defect in theprocess. A reasonable time will be allowed,after the lodging of an application for review, forthe provision of such documentation. However,the grounds for an application for review arerequired in the initial application.Before lodging an application for review of anon-appealable promotion, you should:(1) consider carefully the basis on which the

application is to be made and your reasonsfor believing that the promotion should bereviewed; and

(2) obtain feedback from the convener of theselection advisory committee and discussyour concerns with the delegate who madethe promotion.

Note that the review process is not a means bywhich the merits of applicants for a promotioncan be reviewed. It is not comparable with theright of appeal to a PAC. Section 87 providesfor a review of a promotion solely on the groundthat it would be unreasonable for the promotionto stand because of a breach of section 8 or aserious defect under section 65, and is directedat the process and not the merits of thedecision .Additional information on lodging an applicationfor review is contained in the MPC brochure,Review of non-appealable promotions, whichyou should be able to obtain from yourPersonnel Section.
