Notes
1. The Fair Work Act 2009 requires that all Enterprise Agreements (EA) contain provision for an individual flexibility arrangement. Where DHA and a staff member agree to vary specific terms and conditions in DHA’s EA, an Individual Flexibility Agreement is entered into. Refer to our website (www.dha.gov.au/ea) for a full copy of the EA.
2. In accordance with section 24(1) of the Public Service Act 1999, an agency head may determine in writing the terms and conditions of employment applying to an Australian Public Service employee. Remuneration and conditions of service for Senior Executive Service (SES) staff in DHA are determined in this way.
