Ministerial Advisory Groups
We also assist with appointments to a number of Ministerial Advisory Groups.
Statutory appointments are made by the responsible Minister, or the Governor-General on the recommendation of the responsible Minister. The Minister must present candidates to the Cabinet Appointment and Honours Committee.
If you've been nominated for a position, the outcome of the process can't be confirmed until after appointments have been considered by the Cabinet Appointment and Honours Committee and Cabinet. This is likely to take up to 6 months from when your nomination was submitted.
Public servants aren't usually appointed to statutory boards.
Further information is available in the Cabinet Office circular CO(02) 5: Appointment of Public Servants to Statutory Boards.
