(1) The recently introduced Commissioner's Instruction
Filling a Public Sector Vacancy
sets out the requirements which apply when filling a vacancy in the Western Australian Public Sector, including for TAFE lecturers.
The Commissioner's Instruction specifies how public sector employing authorities may appoint employees on fixed term contracts of service permanently to a vacancy.
Given the introduction of the Commissioner's Instruction it is not necessary to duplicate these procedural matters in agreements.
