FIRE AND EMERGENCY SERVICES COMMISSIONER
546. Hon MARTIN ALDRIDGE to the minister
representing the Minister for Emergency Services:
I refer to the Fire
and Emergency Services Commissioner Darren Klemm, AFSM.
(1)
When does the commissioner's term expire?
(2)
Now that the government has finalised and announced its position on structural
reforms within the Department of Fire and Emergency Services, will the
government provide greater certainty on the leadership of the organisation by
extending the commissioner's tenure?
(3) Will the position of commissioner be
advertised and open to application following Commissioner Klemm's initial 18-month term?

AnswerView source ↗

I thank the
honourable member for some notice of the question. The Department of Fire and
Emergency Services advises the following.
(1) The commissioner's
term expires 18 months from 19 September 2017.
(2)–(3)
The Public Sector Commission is responsible for the employment of public sector
chief executive officers in the senior executive service. Proposed arrangements
regarding the expiry of the commissioner's current term have not yet
been communicated to the minister.
